baby food making question

leebi07 · February 2011

Hi,
I was thinking of having them try avocados next week. Question is can you puree and freeze avocado or what is the best way to store it?

i always did my avocados fresh...they are like apples in that they will brown if left out to the air...so I'd usually mush 1/2 of one and use the other half in a salad or make guac with it so I didn't waste it. I always had issues with browning if i left it...even if I put it in my babyfood making "jars" in the fridge.

Since it's so easy to mash, my thought would be to freeze it in slices and then take them out, defrost and mash as needed. I have some frozen slices in my freezer and they didn't brown, although I haven't defrosted them yet. I did cut the avocado in half and put half sliced in the freezer and the other half in a plastic bag in the fridge - it stored well. I just sliced off the brown part when I gave DD more - which BTW I didn't puree - I just diced up, although she might be older than your LO...she never liked them pureed though and always wanted to feed herself.

I never froze avocado, but I did mix in into foods and freeze that. You can actually still eat it when it's brown, it just doesn't look too appealing.
