About Babyfood, vegetables, sweet potatoes strained
Strained sweet potatoes are cooked sweet potato pureed to a smooth, creamy texture, and they are among the most popular first vegetables. The natural sweetness and soft, velvety consistency make them very easy for babies to accept.
Sweet potato is a touch more substantial than most baby vegetables, at about 57 calories per 100 grams, with around 13 grams of carbohydrate and a little fiber. Its great strength is vitamin A — sweet potatoes are exceptionally rich in beta-carotene — and they also bring some vitamin C and potassium, all while staying low in sodium.
The smooth purée is eaten on its own or combined with other vegetables, fruit or meats in dinner blends. Its sweetness and nutrient density make it a staple of the baby-food aisle. As ever, a pediatrician is the right guide for when to start vegetables and how to advance textures — this is general information, not medical advice.
