Baby Food: Mixed Fruit & Desserts

Mixed fruit dessert baby food combines several puréed fruits into a sweet, smooth blend designed to appeal to young palates. “Fruit supreme” typically features a combination of fruits like apple, peach, pear, and banana, blended together for a rounded, sweet flavour.

These dessert-style baby foods are slightly sweeter and more indulgent than single-fruit purées, making them a common choice for the end of a meal. They’re best introduced after a baby has already accepted a range of individual fruits and vegetables.

Mixed fruit baby food desserts are widely available from major brands in Australian supermarkets. They come in various fruit combinations and textures to suit different age stages.

How it's made

Several types of fruit are washed, peeled, and cooked separately or together until soft. The cooked fruits are then puréed and blended together in specific ratios to achieve a balanced flavour. The mixture may be thickened slightly with tapioca or rice starch. It’s then heat-processed for shelf stability and packaged in jars or pouches.
