Pleased to Eat You

Square One Organics Purees

You know your way around a ramen noodle and toss a mean garbage salad.

But when it comes to feeding baby, you swear to bring something better to the table.

Start with Square One Organics purees. The all-natural, gluten-free foods were developed by local mom Denise Henderson with the help of a pediatric allergist and nutritionist. Vitamin-rich gourmet flavors (pumpkin, butternut squash, broccoli, quinoa, more) are sold frozen in handy two-packs.

The best news? They cost less than $2.

Talk about a square deal.

Available at Olivia’s Market, 2014 West Wabansia Avenue, at Damen Avenue (773-227-4220 or oliviasmarket.com); online at squareoneorganics.com. DailyCandy readers get 25 percent off online orders through December 6 with code DCKSQ1 at checkout.
