Compared to single-ingredient purees, this blend offers a more complex flavor profile by combining sweet apple, earthy carrot, and mild butternut squash. The addition of chia seeds provides a subtle texture difference and a source of small seeds that babies can learn to manage. It is a pre-mixed combination for convenience.
