6 to 9 months old: For first-time eaters, you can offer large, thick spears of ripe avocado or mash the flesh and serve on a pre-loaded spoon.

Place the purée in a container, ice cube tray, or resealable bag, pressing out as much air as possible — by hand or with a vacuum sealer. Label and date the bags and freeze at 0°F (-18°C). Ripe avocado can be frozen mashed or puréed, as well as in halves or chunks, and kept for 4–6 months.

Tips for Making the Best Avocado Puree

To store in the fridge, place puree into small food storage containers and squeeze fresh lemon juice over top. Thaw overnight in the fridge in an airtight container. (You can also freeze directly in a freezer bag.) Leave as a thicker mash for older babies.

Freeze avocado puree in ice cube trays to create cubes perfect for adding to smoothies, spreading on a sandwich, or serving as baby food. If you plan to make guacamole or other dip, freeze the puree in the portion size needed for a recipe. Pack the puree into zipper-style freezer bags or freezer containers.

TO SERVE: Thaw desired number of cubes. Warm in microwave for 5-10 seconds before serving if desired.

Strawberries. Avocados (best when cut in half and frozen with a splash of lemon juice) Bananas (slice or mash before freezing)

Eggs (cook whole egg or just yolk and then freeze without pureeing.) Meats may become gritty when thawed otherwise they are fine. Noodles – do not freeze well when pureed.

After cooking and processing your purees, vegetables and fruits can stay in the refrigerator for up to 48-72 hours and in the freezer for a maximum of 3 months. Be sure to refrigerate freshly cooked baby food within 2 hours as bacteria will start to grow at room temperature after those 2 hours are up.

Can You Freeze Scrambled Eggs? Scrambled eggs are easy to freeze, and they taste great when reheated! We like to cook them so they‘re slightly runny, which helps them retain a soft texture when they‘re warmed through. Let your scrambled eggs fully cool before packing them into individual portions in freezer-safe bags.

When raw eggs freeze, the liquid inside expands, which can cause the shells to break. As a result, the contents of the egg can spoil and are at risk of bacterial contamination (3, 4 ). Additionally, freezing raw, shelled eggs can negatively affect the texture, as the egg yolks become thick and gel-like.

TO USE FROZEN EGGS

According to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), you can freeze eggs for up to one year. When you’re ready to use frozen eggs, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or under running cold water. Use egg yolks or whole eggs as soon as they’re thawed.

The simplest solution to preserving eggs is to simply keep them cool. Eggs have a natural coating on the outside that helps keep the egg inside from spoiling. If that’s washed off, the eggs must be refrigerated. Unwashed eggs, however, can be stored in a cool closet or back room for weeks.

With proper storage, eggs can last for at least 3–5 weeks in the fridge and about a year in the freezer. The longer an egg is stored, the more its quality declines, making it less springy and more runny. However, older eggs are still good for several uses.
