How our
baby food jars
help?
Our jars keep apples separate from vegetables, so their sweetness doesn't overpower more subtle flavors. This helps babies recognize and enjoy apples on their own. Early separation supports flavor learning and makes it more likely they'll accept apples as a healthy snack as they grow.
