Remove peels, pits, and seeds; trim excess fat from meats; cut away tough or stringy parts; and remove skin from poultry. Tip: Don’t peel potatoes and squash.

      Yuck i don’t think freezing it is the best idea, that looks so horrible freezing it because it goes watery but if i ever had kids i’d feed them proper food mushed up instead of baby food because if you’ve ever tested it yourself it’s horrible and tastes nothing like what it says on it, that#s why they pull their faces when eating it, not good to eat.

      Educate yourself, people. Nitrates in the above “warning” are only harmful to babies younger than 3 months and/or any special medical condition relating to it I would assume.

      @MooCowTard01 actually for a while people were selling it on ebay before they made them stop under the pretense that it is a bodily fluid, but you can donate breast milk so it can be given to women who don’t have the ability to breast feed, like if they adopted or if the mother has some illness that would prevent her form doing it
