Offering your baby a rainbow of different fruits and vegetables, means you maximise nutrient levels for them. Here we’re combining different colours you can ensure that your child gets a range of vitamins and minerals and their associated nutrients.
The vibrant orange colour in carrots comes from beta carotene which is converted in the body to vitamin A. This nutrient is used to strengthen the immune system and to ensure good eye health.
