Baby Food Basics with Babycook: Pureed Carrots

When it comes to feeding your baby, sometimes the most nourishing meals are the simplest ones. Welcome to Baby Food Basics with Babycook, our new series designed to walk you through foundational recipes, one wholesome ingredient at a time. Think of this as your starting point for homemade baby food: uncomplicated, nutrient-rich, and beautifully prepared with your Babycook. In this series you'll learn how to use your Babycook like a pro, and introduce your baby to new food groups. 

As a French brand, we believe in mastering the basics. In France, food culture begins early and is rooted in fresh ingredients, simple techniques, and respect for quality. That philosophy extends to how we feed our little ones. Before elaborate combinations and adventurous flavors, there are the essentials done exceptionally well.

First up: carrots. Naturally sweet, vibrant, and packed with beta-carotene, carrots are a classic first food for good reason. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to steam and purée carrots in your Babycook, including the ideal water level for perfect texture every time. No guesswork, no unnecessary steps. Just real food made beautifully simple.

5. Push the blend button, adding back some of the cooking liquid to bring to the desired consistency.
