our ingredients

When we choose our ingredients, we never compare ourselves to other makes of baby food. We have our own benchmark, and trust us, it’s high.

Every pot, packet and pouch we produce is crammed full of the right things to nourish your baby. Each ingredient has been chosen for its nutrient-rich qualities, so every spoonful holds nothing but goodness for your baby’s health and well-being.

 

organic – a firm foundation

Why organic? Because we like to keep things simple. While your baby is busy growing and at his/her most vulnerable it makes sense to give them the purest, safest foods and avoid anything unnecessary.

5 simple reasons:

  • No artificial chemical fertilisers
  • No nasty food additives
  • Use of pesticides is restricted
  • Routine use of drugs is prohibited
  • GM crops and ingredients are banned

responsibly sourced ingredients

Where possible we will always locally and responsibily source our organic ingredients. It is also important to us that all meat used in our recipes is free-range and that all animals have led a comfortable and happy life.

For example all meat used in our Stage 2 pouches comes from Rhug Estate organic farm in the county of Denbighshire, Wales. The animals are all born and bred on the farm and fed on feed grown on the farm. The animals are all lovingly cared for and the farm employs the highest animal welfare standards.

superfoods – as good as it gets

The term superfoods refers to ingredients that are particularly rich in nutrients – vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals – all essential for your growing baby.

Flavonoids, responsible for the colour of dark fruits such as blueberries, and other phytochemicals such as betacarotene, are also known for their antioxidant properties, which is why brightly coloured fruit and vegetables are especially beneficial. That’s why we’re a big fan of them!

We use ingredients that reflect these superfood qualities, along with wholesome grains such as quinoa and spelt. The result, nutrient-rich tasty recipes.

quinoa – our ‘magic’ grain

We use quinoa in all our recipes. We believe it’s the perfect food for your baby – much better nutritionally than rice.

It’s naturally gluten-free making it easy for babies to digest. It’s a fantastic source of protein and a valuable source of minerals and healthy fatty acids. It’s also a natural source of Vitamin E and Vitamin B1.

We use a flaked form of quinoa, specially prepared for us to meet baby food production standards. This avoids its traditional chewy texture resulting in a supergrain that’s packed with goodness but lovely and smooth – perfect for baby and reassuring for you.
