We believe that apples are one of the top fruits for kids. The scientific name of apple is Malus Domestica. This delicious fruit is not grown in our country. Bangladesh imports apples from New Zealand, Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, India, and China. There is an English-language proverb that says, ‘An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away’. It was devised in 1913.

There are huge varieties of apples available in the market: Fuji, Gala, Golden, Granny Smith etc. Golden apple is imported from South Africa and it is really tasty. All of these apples are very nutritious and delicious. You can purchase any type of apple. When it comes to apple puree, we prefer golden apple for its texture, color, and flavor. The fruit contains important nutrients, which boost the immune system of your babies.

Provides Energy:

Constipation and Diarrhea:

Apple contains soluble fiber called pectin, which prevents constipation in babies. Pectin also controls diarrhea and other stomach disorders. Our baby had diarrhea in the 10th month. We requested our pediatrician for a new food chart, and she advised us to feed apples to our baby.
