About Babyfood, vegetables, squash, strained
Strained squash is cooked winter squash — such as butternut — pureed to a smooth, soft consistency. Naturally sweet and creamy, squash is an easy, well-tolerated first vegetable that many babies take to readily.
It is light, at about 28 calories per 100 grams, almost fat-free and low in protein, with around 6 grams of carbohydrate. Like other orange-fleshed vegetables it is a good source of beta-carotene (vitamin A), and it is naturally low in sodium, which makes it a gentle, nutrient-light option.
The smooth purée is served alone or blended with other vegetables, fruit or meats. Its mild sweetness and soft texture make it a friendly introduction to vegetables. Follow a pediatrician's advice on introducing vegetables and moving to thicker textures; the information here is general and not medical advice.
