This baby food combines the goodness of wheat, the natural sweetness of honey and the richness of dates, providing a wholesome meal that supports your baby's growth and development. The carefully selected ingredients are processed to be easy on your baby's delicate digestive system, making it an ideal choice as your little one begins to explore new tastes and textures.

• Resultant Wheat Flour: Resultant Wheat Flour is a finely milled flour derived from whole wheat grains. It retains the essential nutrients found in the wheat kernel, including fibre, vitamins and minerals. In baby food, it serves as a primary source of carbohydrates, providing energy for active growth and development. The high fibre content helps digestion and promotes a healthy bowel movement, while the presence of vitamins and minerals, such as iron and magnesium, supports overall health. Resultant Wheat Flour is gentle on a baby’s digestive system, making it an ideal base for weaning foods.
   
• Milk Solids (34.2%): Milk solids are the dehydrated components of milk, containing essential nutrients like protein, calcium and vitamins A and D. In baby food, milk solids provide a concentrated source of nutrition, supporting bone development, muscle growth and overall health. The high protein content helps in tissue repair and growth, while calcium and vitamin D are crucial for strong bones and teeth. Milk solids also contribute to the creamy texture and rich taste of the product, making it more palatable for babies. They are easily digestible, ensuring that babies receive essential nutrients without digestive discomfort.
   
• Honey (8.3%): Honey is a natural sweetener made by bees from the nectar of flowers. It contains natural sugars, antioxidants and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. In baby food, honey adds a mild, pleasant sweetness, enhancing the flavour without the need for artificial sugars. It also has antimicrobial properties, although its use in baby products is carefully controlled to ensure safety. Honey provides a quick energy boost and contributes to the overall palatability of the food. However, it's important to note that honey is only recommended for babies over 12 months due to the risk of infant botulism.
   
• Sugar: Sugar is a natural sweetener that enhances the flavour of baby food, making it more appealing to infants. It provides a quick source of energy which is essential for active and growing babies. However, the amount of sugar used in baby food is typically controlled to prevent excessive intake. In Nestle Cerelac, sugar complements the natural sweetness of honey and dates, contributing to the overall taste profile. While it improves the flavour, sugar is included in moderation to ensure that the nutritional balance of the food remains appropriate for infants.
   
• Soybean Oil: Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of soybeans. It is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 which are essential for brain development and overall growth in infants. In baby food, soybean oil provides a source of healthy fats that support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K. It also contributes to the smooth texture of the product, making it easier for babies to consume. Soybean oil is easily digestible and plays a vital role in providing the energy needed for a baby’s rapid growth and development.
   
• Corn Flour (3.1%): Corn flour is a finely ground powder made from dried corn kernels. It is a gluten-free ingredient that serves as a carbohydrate source, providing energy for growing babies. In baby food, corn flour adds a smooth texture and acts as a thickening agent, making the product more filling and easier to eat. It is easily digestible and gentle on the stomach, making it suitable for infants who are transitioning to solid foods. Corn flour is also a source of essential nutrients like iron and magnesium which support overall growth and development in babies.
   
• Date (0.5%): Dates are naturally sweet fruits that are rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. In baby food, dates provide a natural sweetness, reducing the need for added sugars. They are a good source of energy and contain important nutrients like potassium, magnesium and iron which support healthy growth and development. The fibre content in dates helps digestion and promotes regular bowel movements which is important for babies as they start to eat more solid foods.
   
• Vitamins (A, B6, C, E, D, Biotin, Thiamine, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folic acid, Riboflavin): These vitamins are crucial for helping maintain overall health and supporting various bodily functions such as energy production, immune system strength and bone health. They also play a key role in cellular repair, growth and metabolic processes, helping ensure optimal performance and recovery for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. This comprehensive blend helps fill nutrient gaps and sustains overall wellness.
   
• Minerals (Calcium Phosporus, Chloride, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Sodium, Potassium): These essential minerals help support various physiological functions such as bone strength, muscle function and energy metabolism. They also support the immune system, transport oxygen and maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. Together, they help replenish vital nutrients lost during intense training, ensuring optimal health and performance.
