About Babyfood, vegetables, carrots, strained
Strained carrots are cooked carrots pureed to a smooth, bright-orange consistency for babies. Naturally a little sweet, carrot is one of the most readily accepted first vegetables, and the strained texture makes it manageable for a baby just moving on from milk alone.
It is very light, at about 26 calories per 100 grams, with almost no fat and only a gram of protein. Its standout nutrient is vitamin A: carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A, giving the purée its color. Of the strained vegetables it tends to run a touch higher in sodium, though the amount is still small.
Smooth and mildly sweet, carrot purée is eaten on its own or combined with other vegetables and with meats in dinner blends. Its sweetness makes it an easy introduction to vegetables. Follow a pediatrician's guidance on introducing vegetables and advancing textures; the information here is general and not medical advice.
