The bag of green beans where fine, but those stupid peas had salt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-275208 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 17:26:27 +0000 Honeybee 275208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use frozen veggies, but I've never seen any that have other ingredients. That's so weird... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-275182 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 17:10:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 275182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the frozen peas from Trader Joes and it doesn't have salt in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-271375 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:30:41 +0000 BSB 271375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, never looked at the ingredients of frozen veggies before. Good to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-271287 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:27:40 +0000 regberadaisy 271287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only fresh here as well. If purées are only good frozen up to 3 months I def won't use frozen veggies in top of that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-271224 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:51:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 271224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only used fresh vegetables, so no hidden salt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-271221 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:48:14 +0000 Andrea 271221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow, I never knew that. I just checked a bag of organic peas we have and it doesn't contain salt so there are brands out there that do not contain salt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-271208 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:26:43 +0000 looch 271208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you found a solution! Turns out my son didn't like carrots, so I used the puree to make carrot soup! Better than trashing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-271207 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:19:09 +0000 BananaPancakes 271207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to my friend last year. She made all her own purées and didn't realize that a lot of the frozen veggies she was buying, though organic, were salted. She stopped using them, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food-has-salt-in-it#post-271174 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 07:51:46 +0000 Clementine 271174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made my first batch of homemade baby food of peas. We didn't have any fresh peas this morning. I just used some organic peas from Whole Foods I recently bought, I assumed there wasn't any salt, but just realized after making and freezing a batch the bag lists salt.</p> <p>Should I get rid of it all? What to do? On the bag, it says 200 mg of sodium (8% of daily diet). I did thin it out with water left from steaming them. All the baby food websites scream NO SALT!!! Will I be harming my LO with this?</p> <p>Update: decided not to risk it and am now having pea soup for lunch today! </p>
