What health benefits does Peach + Coconut Quinoa Baby Cereal provide for my baby?

Quinoa is high in fiber, protein and antioxidants.

Peaches are high in fiber and vitamin C, which is great for your baby’s immune system.

Coconut milk contains antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties and although it is high in fat, it is known to help with heart health.

Are all coconut milks the same?

No, not all coconut milk is created equal! Depending on the brand, the ratio of coconut milk to water will vary, which affects the flavor, consistency and nutritional value. Some brands only contain coconut milk and water, while others have sweeteners and preservatives added. It is really disappointing to open a can (or carton) of coconut milk and have it taste watery and artificial. It can completely ruin the flavor of your dish.

I recommend using Aroy-D brand (from Thailand), which can be found at any Asian store. You can also buy it online here. It is contains 60% coconut milk and water, and that’s it. It is delicious and creamy, and tastes very natural.
