Ah, water! We all drink it, but is it necessary in our little ones' meals? You may have already wondered about this when reading the ingredients of some baby products. And you're right to ask! Let’s take a closer look together :)
Water in baby food: filler or necessity?
When you take a look at the ingredients in baby purees or meals, you often see water listed among the first ingredients. But is it handy? Not so much! Water is sometimes added to prepared foods to increase the product's volume, but it doesn't add any nutritional value. As for the little ones, according to Naître et Grandir, water in baby meals doesn't provide any extra nutrients other than hydration, and it shouldn't be the foundation of a baby’s meals.
The benefits of meals with no added water
At Belov, every spoonful of food should be as nutritious and tasty as possible. That’s why we’ve decided not to add water to our baby meals. Here’s what that changes:
-
Better nutritional concentration: Without water, our meals retain all their richness in vitamins and nutrients, which is perfect for a baby’s development!
-
Perfect texture and delicious taste: Water often dilutes the flavor. Without it, we preserve all the natural taste of the food.
-
Simpler, more transparent ingredients: A shorter and clearer ingredient list, which helps parents better understand what they’re giving their baby.
And the healthy fats?
Did you know that extra virgin olive oil is a fantastic ingredient for your baby’s development? It’s a source of healthy fats that support brain growth and the absorption of vitamins. That’s why we’ve added a little drizzle of olive oil to our meals to improve texture and provide nutritional benefits. Plus, it’s a great way to support a baby's growth and health!
Conclusion: More nutrition, less filler!
At Belov, every detail counts in offering you delicious and ultra-nutritious meals. By choosing our meals with no added water, you’re ensuring that baby gets exactly what they need to grow and thrive. It’s simple, it’s pure, it’s Belov!
