How are they made?

The fruit puree available in stores is made by mass producer where the fruits are chopped and washed. After that skin, stones and seeds are removed along with the fibre is also removed.

This creates smooth consistency. During processing, some of the water from the fruit is removed which concentrates the natural sugar more and produce a very sweet product.

When the puree is heated it loses many heat-sensitive vitamins. Sometimes sugar is added to enhance the sweetness.

Whole fruit Vs Fruit pouches

Though Fruit pouches are a better choice for snacks than cookies, fast foods. But in comparison to whole fruits, they are not a better choice.

Like whole fruits, it doesn’t provide satiety because they contain more fibre and water and they also take longer to chew and digest.

Example The apple puree ( 90 gm serving size ) of a popular brand contains 13 gm of sugar and 1 gm of fibre whereas an equal serving of chopped fresh apple contains 9 gm of sugar and 2 gm of fibre.

These purees even contain preservatives. So the presence of extra sugar, less fibre and presence of preservatives makes them a less healthy choice.

So according to experts, it's better to use these while travelling or while working when people have a time constraint but not always. Some families become too reliant on them.

Especially in cases of young kids, it raises several concerns like delaying motor development, increasing picky eating and cavities.

The pouches actually oversimplify the eating process and keep the child away from the real taste of the fruit which becomes a problem later.

The child should learn to eat whole fruit otherwise overuse of pouches encourages their habit of sucking which they used to do while breastfeeding.
