Hey Kasha, I’ve been digging into those new oat‑based purees from Brand X. Their claim of 100% organic and a 2‑ingredient list looks good on paper, but the texture might be too mushy for little mouths. What’s your take on the mouthfeel and real flavor? Do the alternative ingredients actually boost the nutrition or just serve as a marketing buzzword?
I’ve tried a few of those oat purees, and honestly the texture is on the silky side—almost a little too runny for a baby who likes a bit more bite. The flavor is mild but you can’t taste the oat, so it feels more like a base than a real food. The “alternative ingredients” are usually things like chia or flax, which do add some omega‑3s and fiber, but they don’t really change the taste much. If you’re looking for a boost, add a splash of pureed fruit or a pinch of cinnamon to give it a real punch. It’s more marketing than a game‑changer for nutrition, but it’s still better than a plain puree if you want that extra fiber. Try blending it with a half‑cup of steamed peas or sweet potato for a thicker, more flavorful texture.
