Baby food can be expensive and lack quality nutrition, which is why American parents are catching on to a European trend worth investing in.

If you approach a new parent with the idea of making their own baby food, chances are they will laugh at you all the way back to reality. However, the Beaba Babycook, a French invention now available at American stores, is making homemade baby food a convenient reality.

Homemade Baby Food is Simple

Grocery totals are quickly hiked up when you add in all of those tiny jars of strained fruit and veggies, and the truth of the matter is the nutritional value in many of them is marginal at best. The Beaba Babycook can save you money, while also increasing your family’s health quotient. If you are going green, the cooker also makes it easier to stick to organic cuisine.

The super compact unit is capable of steaming vegetable, fruit, meat, and even fish in 15 minutes, which helps the food to retain its nutrients and flavor. You can then puree things into your desired consistency and feed to baby in no time flat.

The Beaba Babycook is just one of the many ingenious inventions to come out of Europe, so keep your eye out for future breakthroughs. Until then, you can purchase your own cooker at Williams-Sonoma .
