Gerber Food Flavors

The Gerber Products Company is the word's largest baby products supplier in the world, according to the investing and entrepreneur resource Funding Universe. The company specializes in producing foods for babies and young children, ranging from newborns to toddlers to preschoolers. Their numerous lines of infant-friendly meals and snacks come in a diverse array of flavors.

  1. 1st Foods Vegetables

    • Gerber recommends its 1st Foods Vegetables line of foods for young babies who still require help, or support, in order to sit up. The pureed meals, which use USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)-certified organic ingredients, come in three flavors: sweet potato, carrot and pea.

    2nd Foods Dinners

    • 2nd Foods Dinners are intended for babies who can sit up un supported. Instead of relying on a single vegetable as the main ingredient, these meals include beef, poultry, pasta and fruits, and combine several ingredients for a broad range of vitamins and flavors. The flavor options for 2nd Foods Dinners include chicken and rice, chicken noodle, vegetable chicken, apples and chicken, turkey and rice, sweet potatoes and turkey, vegetable beef, and macaroni and cheese.

    Graduates Puffs

    • Graduates Puffs are airy snacks, similar to cheese puffs, which consist of puffed grains, fruits and vegetables. Gerber recommends the snacks, which are high in vitamin E, zinc and iron, for babies who are old enough to crawl. Flavor options for Graduates Puffs include cherry, peach, banana, sweet corn, sweet potato, strawberry apple and apple cinnamon.

    Graduates Yogurt Melts

    • Another Gerber snack option for "crawlers" are Graduates Yogurt Melts, which contain helpful pro-biotic ingredients just like grown-up yogurts. However, instead of having to eat droopy yogurt with spoons, babies can simply pop the melts in their mouths like candy. Graduates Yogurt Melts come in three flavors: mixed berry, strawberry and peach.

    Graduates Lil' Entrees

    • For toddlers, Gerber recommends its line of pre-made meals known as Graduates Lil' Entrees. In comparison to the 2nd Foods Dinners, Lil' Entrees offers more complex flavor combinations, including mashed potatoes and gravy with roasted chicken; beef ravioli in tomato sauce with green beans; rice and turkey in gravy with green beans and carrots; and macaroni and cheese with peas and carrots.

    Fruit Twists

    • Fruit twists are Twizzler- or licorice-style snacks that incorporate 99-percent real fruits. The snacks, which Gerber recommends for preschoolers, come in two flavors: apple and strawberry; and strawberry and grape.

    Cereal Twists

    • Graduates Cereal Twists are another snack that Gerber makes for preschoolers. The snacks consist of whole grain outer shells and flavored-yogurt fillings. Flavor options for the filling include raspberry vanilla, banana peach and strawberry blueberry.
