Gerber goes Latin with Recetas Latinas

gerber latin baby foodNo, I don't have a baby yet, but I will admit that in high school, I used to eat baby food because they were easy to carry to cheerleading practice, and seemed healthier than the normal non-baby snacks.

Gerber has announced a new line of baby foods called Recetas Latinas, fruits, vegetables, dinner, and desserts in Latin flavors. While the fruit and vegetable flavors like mango, manzana (apple) and calabacita (zucchini) sound no more Latin than except for having a Spanish name, the dinners come in flavors like Jamon y Salsa de Papaya (Ham with Papaya Salsa) and Carne Asada.

Now if only Gerber would do an Asian line...pureed unagi sushi as baby food!

The kids (and I) have always loved the mango and papaya fruit compote though...which you can find anywhere in Miami and generally all over Florida. I have been eating them since I was an infant (my grandparents graciously would ship cartons of the stuff to my parents here in D.C.).

Depends on the market where you will find most things I guess.
