Five questions to ask before buying baby rice puffs
- Is your baby old enough. The bag says 9 months and up, for babies who already eat textured food, sit steadily, hold food themselves and are learning to chew.
- What is in them. Brown jasmine rice, corn flour, rice bran oil and the fruit or vegetable powder of each flavour. The bag states no added sugar, no added salt and no preservatives.
- What if solids are still new. The bag suggests mixing the puffs with a little milk to soften them. Once your baby chews well, serve them dry.
- Which pack goes where. The 40 g bag stays in the kitchen and is resealed after each snack. The 4 g mini is one snack, sized for the nappy bag.
- How long they last once open. Finish a 40 g bag within 30 days of opening so the puffs stay crisp. A mini pack is opened and eaten in one go.
How the four flavours and the mini pack differ
All four flavours share a base of brown jasmine rice, corn flour and rice bran oil. Only the fruit or vegetable powder changes. The table follows the ingredients printed on the bag.
| Flavour | Ingredients | Pack |
|---|---|---|
| Apple and broccoli | Brown jasmine rice, corn flour, rice bran oil, apple powder, broccoli powder | 40 g |
| Strawberry | Brown jasmine rice, corn flour, rice bran oil, strawberry powder | 40 g |
| Sweet potato | Brown jasmine rice, corn flour, rice bran oil, purple sweet potato powder | 40 g |
| Pumpkin | Brown jasmine rice, corn flour, rice bran oil, pumpkin powder | 40 g |
| Strawberry mini | Same as strawberry | 4 g, single or as a bundle of 10 minis |
Pick apple and broccoli if your baby already eats greens in congee. Pick pumpkin or sweet potato if your baby is used to pumpkin congee or mashed sweet potato. Pick strawberry if your baby leans towards fruit over vegetables.
The 4 g mini has the same ingredients as the strawberry bag. Choose it if you are often out with your baby. Each pack is one snack, so there is no half-empty bag going soft in the nappy bag.
Offering puffs safely
Sit your baby upright in a high chair, and always have an adult sitting with them while they eat. Never give puffs while your baby is lying down, crying or running around. Do not leave your baby to eat alone, even once they are good at picking up food.
The first time, put a few puffs on the tray and let your baby pick them up. If chewing is still new, soften them with a little milk, as the bag suggests. Wait until your baby has swallowed before adding more.
Puffs are a snack between meals. They do not replace a meal of congee or cereal, and they do not replace breast milk.
When a bag of puffs makes the day easier
It is breakfast and the congee is still too hot. Your baby is already in the high chair and getting restless. A few puffs on the tray keep small hands busy while it cools.
On vaccination day, or a visit to the grandparents, two minis go into the nappy bag. When you arrive, sit your baby down before you open one.
At home, the small flowers get picked up one at a time from the tray. You can see how many have gone, and the tray is quicker to wipe than spilled congee.
Keeping puffs crisp in humid weather
Store the puffs in a cool, dry place. After opening, clip the bag shut or tip the puffs into an airtight container. Finish them within 30 days of opening so they stay crisp.
In the damp northern spring, or the rainy season in Saigon, an open bag goes soft quickly. Keep it away from the rice cooker and the kettle. The shelf life is 18 months from manufacture, and both dates are printed on the bag.
