Ella's Kitchen organic weaning goodiesBy Laura Lee Davies |  |  |
Although our food survey in the summer suggested that the overwhelming majority of ThinkBaby members prefer to prepare homemade baby foods, we all accept there are times when we are out and about, and in need of something healthy, easy and, most importantly, yummy, for our little ones.
We first wrote about Ella's Kitchen's organic pure fruit tubes back in March, when they first launched with two fruity flavours.
Bolstered by their success, the company set up by Paul Lindley (that's Ella's dad, in case you're wondering), has brought out new tastes to add to the range.
The 100 per cent organic recipes are: Carrot, Apple and Parsnip; Broccoli, Pear and Peas; Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Apple and Blueberries; and Apples and Bananas.
Made without additives or even water (which many baby foods are full of), all the purees are completely spoon so they're perfect from the first weaning stage, but can also be added to other foods when you want to add more texture. They are pasteurised, so they last well (up to 12 months) and can be safely carried around in your changing bags for emergency food breaks! Once opened, they can be stored in a fridge for up to 24 hours (though it is not advisable to keep them if your child has snacked straight from the pouch).
Packaged in squeezy pouches, they're easy for mothers to feed babies by spoon, and for older children to snack on straight from the 'bottle'.
They are currently being stocked by Waitrose (and Ocado home delivery), and cost 75p per pouch.
