Pears are wholesome fruits that are fibre rich and as well a good source of vitamin c.
They make a delicious first food for babies and can be added to their cereal, akamu or ogi (pap), custard or served alone as a dessert after a meal.
Add some natural yoghurt for a homemade sweet yoghurt delight or you can mix with other fruit purees or vegetable purees.
