Ingredients (5)

• organic brown rice (safe) — Whole grain that keeps its bran and germ, so baby gets the naturally occurring fiber, B vitamins and minerals instead of stripped starch.
• organic rice bran extract (safe) — Derived from the rice bran; contributes natural nutrients and acts as a mild stabilizer. Whole-food sourced.
• Tocopherols (Vitamin E) (safe) — Natural vitamin E used to protect the oils from going rancid.
• Alpha-Amylase (Enzyme) (safe) — A natural enzyme that pre-digests some of the starch so the cereal mixes smooth and is gentler on an infant's gut. Inactive in the final food.
• Electrolytic Iron (moderate) — Iron fortification addresses a genuine infant need, but electrolytic (elemental) iron is a cheaper, less bioavailable form than ferrous options, so absorption is modest.
