Peach Baby Food

part of: Peach

Peach baby food is a gentle introduction to fruit for infants. Made from ripe peaches that have been cooked and strained to a completely smooth consistency, it is free from lumps, seeds, and skin, making it safe and easy for young babies to eat.

Peach is a popular first fruit for babies due to its naturally sweet flavour and mild taste. Commercial peach baby food is available in jars and pouches, often as a single-ingredient product or blended with other fruits. It can also be easily made at home by cooking and pureeing ripe peaches.

In Australia, baby food products are manufactured to strict food safety standards and are labelled with age-appropriate guidance, typically suitable from around four to six months depending on the product.

How it's made

Ripe peaches are washed, peeled, and destoned. The flesh is cooked until soft, then puréed and passed through a fine strainer to remove any remaining fibres or lumps. The smooth purée is pasteurised, sealed in jars or pouches, and heat-treated to ensure shelf stability and food safety.
