Pear Pony - Holle Organic Fruit Puree Pouch

Pear Pony - Holle Organic Fruit Puree Pouch, Pear, Peach and Raspberries with Spelt, 100 g, from the 6th month

Pear Pony is a Holle organic fruit puree pouch for babies from the 6th month. It is pear, peach and raspberry with a little wholegrain spelt, in a 100 g resealable pouch. The fruit is Demeter grade, the biodynamic tier above EU Organic, and it is made with no added sugar. Because of the spelt, this pouch contains gluten.

Three fruits and one grain. Pear leads at 57.5 percent and sets the mild, slightly grainy sweetness; peach at 30 percent gives it the softer, rounder note; raspberry at 10 percent is the sharp edge and most of the colour. The spelt is only 2.5 percent, and it is there as the thickener, which is why this puree sits a little heavier on a spoon than a fruit-only pouch does.

That small amount of spelt is the single most important thing to know about this pouch. Spelt is a wheat species and it carries gluten, so Holle makes no gluten-free claim for Pear Pony and neither do we. If your baby has not yet had a gluten cereal, this is not the pouch to introduce one with: a cereal is better met on its own, where you can see how it is taken.

Set that aside and the rest is a straightforward fruit puree. There is no added water, no starch, no juice concentrate and no additive in the declaration, and Holle states there is no added sugar, with the footnote that the pouch naturally contains the sugars in the fruit. The pear, peach and spelt are biodynamic; the raspberry is certified organic.

It is also one of the more filling pouches, which is what the grain is for. A puree with a little wholegrain in it holds a baby longer than fruit alone, so as an organic baby snack it does better as a breakfast or a mid-afternoon stop-gap than as a pudding. Unopened the pouch needs no refrigeration, so it travels without a cool pack.

Where this pouch sits in the weaning day

This is a breakfast or a snack rather than a pudding. The wholegrain spelt thickens it and makes it more sustaining than a pure fruit puree, so it does its best work at the start of the day or in the gap before a meal.

Where it fits in the order of introductions is a different question, and it comes down to the spelt. A pouch carrying a gluten cereal is a reasonable step once your baby has already met a gluten grain on its own and taken it well. Before that it is the wrong pack, because two new fruits and a new cereal arriving together is the opposite of how grains are usually introduced.

Once grains are established it becomes an easy pouch to keep in the cupboard. Pear and peach are mild, the raspberry gives it a flavour children ask for, and the texture is thick enough to spoon without running off. It also stirs into plain porridge, where the raspberry does the work of a flavoured cereal without added sugar.

How to serve it, and how to store it once opened

What is in the pouch, by percentage

Four entries. The three fruits are 97.5 percent of it between them, and the last 2.5 percent is the grain that thickens it.

Percentages are Holle's own for this product, and Holle's current page gives the same four figures. There is no added water, starch, juice concentrate or additive in the recipe.

What one 100 g pouch gives you

A pouch is a portion, so there is no yield to calculate. The grain in it makes this one of the more filling pouches, which is worth knowing when you are deciding whether it is the snack or part of a meal.

Holle does not publish a portion count for this pouch, so the splits above are arithmetic on the 100 g pack size rather than a manufacturer figure. The fridge life is Holle's own: 2 days after opening. A pouch your baby has fed from directly should not be kept.

Written from the ingredient, allergen and storage declarations printed on this pouch, checked against Holle's own published product page for Pear Pony - Pear, peach and raspberries with spelt, which gives the same four percentages and confirms that no gluten-free claim is made for it. The age and the 100 g pack size are taken from the product itself; Holle's current page lists the pouch from the 8th month and that difference is noted above rather than resolved here. The gluten statement is new on this page: the spelt in the declaration carries gluten and the previous version of this listing said nothing about it. Portion splits are arithmetic on the 100 g pack size and are identified as such. Last reviewed 17 October 2026.
