Seasonal fruits and vegetables

At BLW , we always prioritize offering babies healthy recipes! But healthy food means seasonal fruits and vegetables !

Why is it important to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables?

The true taste of fruits and vegetables

A tomato in summer tastes much better than a tomato in winter! Fruits and vegetables are tastier when eaten in season! By eating seasonally, you'll be offering your baby delicious foods that have naturally ripened before being harvested. Fruits and vegetables that have reached their peak ripeness before being picked have more pronounced flavors.

With BLW Baby-Led Weaning), Baby will discover the foods you offer using their five senses. It is important that they taste the true flavors of fruits and vegetables .

The right input at the right time!

The human body's energy requirements vary depending on the season. In winter, we need vitamins that the sun provides in summer. Did you know that seasonal fruits and vegetables are specifically chosen to meet the needs of both your body and your baby's? Winter fruits and vegetables provide the vitamin C that your baby needs! And the same is true for all other seasons!

Seasonal fruits and vegetables are richer in nutrients and provide what the body needs according to the seasons! Nature really is amazing!

Seasonal fruits and vegetables are much better for our health!

Seasonal fruits and vegetables for the environment

By respecting the seasonality of fruits and vegetables, you're taking a step for the planet! Indeed, by consuming seasonal fruits and vegetables, you're supporting local products or those from countries near your own. This reduces the CO2 emissions from food transportation. Pretty good, right?

Furthermore, fruits and vegetables that come from far away are picked before they are ripe and continue to ripen during transport. They will have less flavor and, above all, fewer nutrients…

What foods pose a risk in BLW ? They are basic, small, round, and hard foods. We explain everything in the article.

At BLW , we favor recipes made with seasonal fruits and vegetables. Each week, we offer a menu based on what's in season. All our recipes indicate the season in which they are best enjoyed with your baby!

Offering seasonal fruits and vegetables to your baby not only provides the right nutrients according to the season, but also allows them to discover their true flavors while doing something good for the environment! Pretty great, right? Seasonal fruits and vegetables can only be good for your baby!
