Sweet Potato Baby Food

soxmuscle · 05-01-2008, 02:29 PM

Is the Gerber brand sweet potato baby food a good option?

It's pretty much a task for me to eat sweet potatoes, but in baby food form I could bring them on the go and slam them at will.

Thoughts.

My 18 month old son loves them, so

If you're gonna eat babyfood, eat the Gerber Dutch Apple desert....now THAT is good stuff

I ate the Vanilla Custard flavor for years. They do taste pretty good.

Still though, is it just mashed sweet potatoes or do they add in a bunch of other stuff to make it unhealthy?

DaMayor · 05-01-2008, 03:11 PM

Nasssssssty!

I doubt they add a lot bad stuff, considering that it is baby food, but they don't add a lot of great stuff either.

I made all of my son's baby food from scratch.

1st Foods Sweet Potatoes | Gerber | Walgreens

^ ingredients = sweet potatoes, water.

I guess I just answered my own question.

Good shit.

If you want to, eat it.

soxmuscle · 05-04-2008, 01:21 AM

It just seems like an easy, convenient way to get those good carbs.

fufu · 05-04-2008, 08:23 PM

I don't see a problem with it.

**P-funk** · 05-04-2008, 09:50 PM

you should get FuFu to spoon feed it to you. I am sure that he wouldn't mind changing your diaper and wiping you ass either.

soxmuscle · 05-04-2008, 10:05 PM

Will do

vader · 05-04-2008, 10:07 PM

you can get sweet potato in a can for 89 cents ,thats 405 grams.
The only thing is it has corn syrup,and more sugar added.
17grams of sugar per serving.

^ that's why the baby food style is a better option, because they don't add anything to it and it's just mashed sweet potatoes.

**P-funk** · 05-05-2008, 07:13 AM

there was this canned sweetpotato i was buying at Whole Foods and it was just sweetpotato and water. It was a much larger amount than the little bottles of baby food (more bang for your buck), so you might want to check that out.

If the ingredients listed is only sweet potato and water, why not just buy some jars, and make your own for next to nothing?

Thanks, Patrick.

This is all I was looking for... an easy/cheap way to eat Sweet Potatoes because right now, unless they're "french fried" sweet potatoes, they're hard to get down.

Yanick · 05-05-2008, 09:09 PM

sweet potato + a bit of sour cream + cinnamon = good stuff. Yeah i know saturated fat from the sour cream but you don't need much.

Fat free sour cream tastes excellent IMO.

This could prevent me from looking like a jackass with baby food containers

Thanks, Yan!

If you have time, sweet potatoes are delicious. Wash it off and cover it with a VERY thin layer of EVOO. Wrap it in tin foil then put it in the oven/toaster at 350 degrees for 1.5-2 hours.

The outside should come out nice and black/crispy, but the insides will be incredibly delicious.

God I want a sweet potato right now.

DaMayor · 05-06-2008, 03:07 PM

Easier yet....

Prep like Yan said...you gotta wash them tooooobers.

Prick at least three holes through the skin, pop in the microwave, cover with a moistened paper towel, go for 3-6 minutes depending on the size of the tater. There ya go.
Of course, nothing can beat a baked sweet potato, but if you're after quick results, no oil, no fat...

**IainDaniel** · 05-06-2008, 03:08 PM

slice into fries.

Coat in EVOO and throw in the the oven. Pull out and season.

Healthier sweet potato fries

DaMayor · 05-06-2008, 03:25 PM

What is this? A cook off?

You could also do an easy sweet potato bisque, sofrito smashed (sweet) potatoes, yada yada yada

They're potatoes, y'know?

...you clearly didn't grow up with my Mom's cooking.

Yanick · 05-06-2008, 07:33 PM

Those all sound like great recipes but i just don't have time to bake and cut and season etc. I just nuke it till its soft, peel the skin, sour cream and cinnamon and mash it up with a fork. Its like a cinnamon-y mashed sweet potato. More sour cream for creamier and less if your diet doesn't allow it. Chicken breast and mashed sweet potatoes is one of my favorite, healthy, meals.

Compliments to the chef.. err.. recipe giver.
