Benefits of Freezing
Freezing food prevents bacteria from growing and preserves the nutritional value of the food. It can also nullify the need for preservatives that are commonly found in store-bought toddler food. Not only can freezing extra food cut your grocery costs, but it can also reduce the amount of food waste that goes in the bin.
Types of Food You Can Freeze
Most foods can be kept in the freezer for a long time, but there are certain types of foods that are particularly well-suited for freezing for toddlers. Here are a few types of toddler food that can be frozen:
- Fruit: banana, mango, blueberries, etc.
- Vegetables: peas, carrots, potatoes, etc.
- Fish: salmon, tilapia, mackerel, etc.
- Dairy products: cheese, yogurt, etc.
- Baked goods: muffins, scones, oatmeal bars, etc.
Tips for Freezing Toddler Food
Freezing food isn’t complicated, but there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure your toddler food stays safe and tasty:
- Make sure the food is cooled completely before freezing.
- Freeze each item separately, so portions can be easily separated when needed.
- Store food in airtight containers.
- Label the containers with the contents and date frozen.
Thawing and Serving
When ready to serve, it is best to thaw the food in the refrigerator overnight rather than microwaving it. Once the food is thawed, it should be served within 24 hours for optimal taste and texture.
Conclusion
Freezing extra toddler food is a great way to save money, reduce food waste, and keep meals and snacks from spoiling. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can keep your toddler’s meals fresh and delicious while also cutting down on mealtime prep!
