Organic Chicken & Shiitake Egg Noodle Soup

Chicken is a rich source of many nutrients that are essential for babies’ growth and development. These nutrients include vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc, choline, selenium, and vitamin B3. They play important roles in supporting antioxidant activities, providing energy to cells, promoting healthy blood, enhancing the sense of taste and smell, and boosting brain health. Furthermore, chicken is a great source of protein, which contains all the amino acids required to develop a baby's muscles, nervous system, heart, skin, and hair.

Shiitake mushrooms have several health benefits. Firstly, they are rich in vitamin D and vitamin B12, which are typically found in animal-based foods, making them a great addition to a plant-based baby's diet. Secondly, shiitakes contain unique types of fiber and essential vitamins and minerals like selenium and zinc, which are important for immune system function, as well as maintaining a healthy sense of taste and smell. Lastly, shiitakes have phytonutrients that possess antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.

Eggs are an excellent protein source, offering a full spectrum of amino acids (cellular building blocks) and essential fats such as saturated fats, cholesterol, and DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid) crucial for cell membrane construction, brain development, and eye health. Additionally, eggs are packed with B vitamins, folate, selenium, zinc, iodine, and a trace of iron (though less than meat). Notably, they are among the top sources of choline, vital for the development of the brain and nervous system
