January Superfoods for Baby (and Beyond!)
Eating with the seasons isn’t just delicious, it’s a simple way to introduce your baby to fresh flavors and powerful nutrients. These in-season fruits and veggies are packed with goodness and easy to turn into baby-friendly meals (hello, Babycook 👋). Here’s why we’re loving these five right now:
Purple Potato
A colorful twist on a classic! Purple potatoes are rich in antioxidants that support overall wellness, plus fiber for gentle digestion. Their naturally creamy texture makes them perfect for smooth purées or mashable meals as baby grows.
Blood Orange
Bright, juicy, and full of vitamin C, blood oranges help support immune health and iron absorption. Their slightly berry-like flavor is a fun way to expand baby’s palate. Steam and blend into purées or mix with yogurt for a citrusy boost.
Turnip
Mild, slightly sweet, and often underrated, turnips are a great source of vitamin C and fiber. When cooked, they become soft and easy to blend and go perfectly with other foods like carrots and potatoes.
Bok Choy
This leafy green is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, plus calcium for growing bones. Its tender leaves cook quickly and blend smoothly, making it a gentle way to introduce greens early on.
Carrot
A baby-food classic for a reason. Carrots are naturally sweet, rich in beta-carotene, and easy to digest. They’re perfect on their own or combined with just about any veggie for balanced, flavorful meals.
Seasonal produce = fresh flavors, simple prep, and happy little eaters. Whether you’re steaming, blending, or mixing new combos, these ingredients make it easy to nourish your baby one colorful bite at a time.
