Weaning and frozen vegetables?

Question

My baby is 6 months old and I started to wean him a couple of weeks ago. I usually cook a vegetable and then do a batch of little pots to go in the freezer.

I wanted to add peas to a potato mash tonight but my partner told me I can't use a frozen vegetable, cook it and then freeze it again.

I know it's true for most foods and ready meals but does it apply to fresh frozen peas?

Answer 1

You can use frozen peas. They're not the best but they're better than canned. I always freeze my daughter's baby food after I make it even it was frozen before I steamed it.

Answer 2

yes you can definatly use them(they are also just as nutritional) a good book to buy would be annabel karmel she has some fab recipes and tips!!x

Answer 3

I guess I never thought of it that way. I often use frozen veggies in different hot dishes and whatnot and then refreeze them and I've never had a problem. I'm not sure how the puree would play into that, but I would think they'd be okay! There is very little bacteria in vegetables- bacteria is the main concern for refreezing foods. I think you'd be fine!

Answer 4

If you cooked fresh veg and then froze it, you can absolutely use it in your potato mash tonight.  This applies to any fresh food.

If you cooked a frozen veg and re-froze it, then it really has little to no nutritional value left and probably won't taste very good.
