For feeding hungry little ones fast—especially when you're on-the-go—you can’t beat the convenience of organic fruit and veggie purees in a pouch. If you're looking for a budget-friendly organic baby food, Parent’s Choice Organic Baby Food Purees are a great pick. With more than 20 flavours, ranging from single-fruit offerings to more advanced combos of veggies, fruits and grains, and a nice consistency and smooth texture, they're ideal for baby's introduction to solid foods.
We worked with registered dietician Cara Rosenbloom to assess the ingredients in the purees we tested. All Parent's Choice Organic Baby Food Purees are made without added salt, sugar or fat—things you shouldn't find in baby foods. Some of the purees contain ascorbic acid, which might sound suspect since it's not a whole food ingredient, but it's simply vitamin C, and Rosenbloom isn’t concerned about it being in baby foods.
The only hiccup in overall quality of ingredients is the presence of citric acid, a preservative, in some of the Parent's Choice purees. Rosenbloom says citric acid is an unnecessary ingredient (in fact, many organic baby foods are made without it). If you want to avoid this preservative but still take advantage of the budget-friendly price point of these purees (they're cheaper than organic purees from other brands), you'll have to do some label reading when you're shopping.
What did our parent testers think of the ingredients in the purees they sampled with their babies? All but one said they feel good about feeding Parent's Choice Organic Baby Food Purees to their little ones based on the ingredients, and they're happy with the ingredients used.
When you're starting solids, always introduce new foods one at a time, waiting a few days before you try another new food. This will allow you to easily identify any allergic reactions or sensitivities.
TASTE AND TEXTURE While adults typically find the smell, flavour and texture of a lot of baby foods rather unappealing, our Today’s Parent Approved editors found these purees quite tasty and appealing. The Apple, Mango, Sweet Potato & Millet puree is a smooth puree that has a strong, sweet mango flavour with a touch of apple and a hint of the sweet potato's earthiness. The Pear & Pea combo (which does contain citric acid) also stands out for its smoothness and subtle pea flavour—a welcome departure from peas being the dominant, often unpleasant flavour in a lot of other baby foods.
All the babies who tried the Parent's Choice purees happily gobbled them up—a big win.
It’s a good blend, and we liked it for several meals without getting tired of it.” —Michelle, mom of one
PORTABILITY AND EASE OF USEParent's Choice Organic Baby Food Purees come in a 128-mL pouch with a resealable twist-off cap. The cap comes off with a click, letting you know the contents are fresh. All of our parent testers found it easy to dispense these purees onto a spoon for feeding, without any messy dribbles running down the outside of the pouch.
While older babies and toddlers may be able to snack directly from a puree pouch, experts caution against doing this regularly. Eating in this way means kids aren’t learning to eat from a spoon or dish—skills you want your child to develop. Plus, it introduces a lot of bacteria into the food.
You'll want to give the pouch a good shake before feeding baby. In our lab tests, we found that the first bit of food that comes out of puree pouches is often a bit thicker and darker in colour than the rest of the puree.
There’s nothing wrong with it—it’s just natural oxidization at work—but if it worries you, you can always discard it.
The flat, compact package is easy to store and carry around. While the cap goes back on tightly without leaking, unless you can refrigerate the leftovers, they must be thrown away—a drawback while travelling. It's also worth noting that the pouches aren’t recyclable, though the caps are.
VALUEOnce you’ve opened a Parent's Choice puree, it should be refrigerated right after a feeding and used up within 24 hours—a pretty narrow timeframe, but standard for purees sold in pouches. One of our parent testers wasn't able to use up the baby food within 24 hours, but nevertheless, all of our testers said they would purchase this baby food. On top of the great taste and organic ingredients, they feel the price point makes this a standout product.
FINAL WORD Purees that come in a resealable pouch are super convenient, and the price point of the Parent’s Choice Organic Baby Food Purees can't be beat.
Our editors were impressed with the flavours and textures of these budget-friendly organic purees, though we wish citric acid wasn't in some of them. Our parent testers were pretty impressed too, giving the Parent's Choice purees good or very good ratings for quality, ease of use and value for money. And parents told us that the toughest critics of all—their babies—really enjoyed nearly all of the purees they tried. A solid endorsement if there ever was one.
My baby loved every single one of them. She enjoyed feeding herself more than with a spoon. The flavours were very delicious to me too!" —Diane, mom of one

5 trends in baby food that attract parents - Encyclopedia Baby food
Levchuk Victoria ©
Taste. Texture. Smell. It's worth thinking about all the things that are vital to a positive customer experience—things that are likely to encourage repeat purchases.
Consider baby food. What leads to a positive consumer experience? Usually, parents make purchasing decisions based on how they perceive the product and how it affects the health of the child. nine0005
Sales of baby food are not affected by factors that are usually important in other categories of consumption because parents decide what to buy based on their experience and fashion for healthy food.
Of course, taste and texture are important when choosing baby food, as it can increase future purchases. Perhaps more than any other consumption category, baby food sales depend on the positive health benefits associated with the product.

After all, the child is fed only healthy complementary foods. Below are 5 baby food trends that attract today's parents and are the main criteria when choosing complementary foods for a child.
1. Ancient Grains
Grains have long been popular in baby food. Usually, a child is fed rice, buckwheat, oatmeal from cereals. But now they are being replaced by grains that carry even more nutritional value: ancient grains. Also known as heritage grains, popular varieties include quinoa, quinoa, teff, millet, and chia. nine0005
Ancient grains are high in protein, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals, and promote heart, gut, and immune health, among other benefits.
2. Natural nutrition
Parents do not want to feed their children food that has been synthetically developed in a laboratory or genetically engineered.
Returning to a natural diet is high on the list of priorities for parents.
The concept that we should nourish children's bodies with nutrients from natural whole foods. Therefore, many parents carefully read the composition of baby food in order to choose a product without additives, without artificial or synthetic ingredients. nine0005
3. All the colors of the rainbow
It is important for a child to eat not only natural complementary foods, but also to choose baby food from a variety of products - a colorful variety. For the most part, the color of fruits and vegetables corresponds to specific chemical compounds in food. The color of the product that the child eats ultimately affects his health, which is why it is so important to feed the child in a colorful and varied way.
This is used by manufacturers of baby food. Beautiful and vibrant packaging, inspired by the colorful food it contains, helps brands stand out in aisles filled with baby food. The vibrant colors and images imply a natural connection with children, making this trend even more perfect for baby food.
nine0005
Listed below are some of the health benefits that different colors of fruits and vegetables can provide.
| Blue/violet color | fights with an inflammation of Improves memory Protects cells from damage |
| yellow/orange, rises the health of the joints heart disease | |
| White color | supports bone strength helps to reduce cholesterol level Balances hormones |
| Red color | helps to reduce: - risk of diabetes 9000 - Improves skin quality |
| Green | Helps rid the body of toxins Helps heal tissue Supports a healthy immune system |
4. Gut health
Research shows that today's babies have significantly less intestinal bacteria than they need in their first months of life.
Perhaps this is due to the overuse of antibiotics in the world. Failure to obtain these bacteria—either from the mother at birth or through baby food—can lead to a variety of health conditions throughout a child's life. nine0005
A baby's digestive system develops during the first six months of life. Adding probiotics and prebiotics to baby foods can have positive effects and promote good immune health. Therefore, modern parents choose baby food with the addition of probiotics and prebiotics at an early stage of baby development.
5. Organic nutrition
There is a lot of attention now on organic nutrition, and baby food is no exception. More than ever, parents value their children's health and choose foods that are grown naturally and without chemicals. An organic history from farm to fork establishes trust and transparency. nine0005
We've listed 5 baby food trends that are appealing to today's parents. Perhaps there are more of them, perhaps parents are guided by some other factors when choosing baby food.
Why WOW Moms Choose Organic Baby Food
06/26/2017 | BabyWOW | No comments
While the baby is breastfeeding, as long as the milk he eats has a balanced composition, a comfortable temperature and a proven manufacturer :), mothers are calm. But now, when the pediatrician recommends the introduction of complementary foods, a lot of questions arise. And the most important of them is the quality of baby food. nine0041
More and more mothers now prefer organic baby food. We decided to find out from our mom readers why organic is a priority.
Mother Masha, daughter Vika (1 year old), son Maxim (3 years old):
We choose only certified organic baby food. In this case, I can definitely be sure that when growing vegetables, fruits, berries, cereals, they did not fertilize with pesticides, and the animals were not fed with antibiotics. Indeed, even after processing, chemistry remains in the products, and babies are very sensitive to such substances, which cause not only food allergies, but also undermine the immunity of the child as a whole.
My favorite is the HiPP food. They have a variety of flavors, good product consistency, and are a family business that values its reputation. I trust them. nine0005
Mom Katya, son Matvey (2 years old):
Before the birth of my child, I did not think about what organic matter is. But when the question arose of the introduction of complementary foods, she involuntarily began to study the information and, of course, she chose organic. After all, the baby's stomach is so vulnerable and all sorts of GMOs and chemistry are "too tough" for him. How to protect it from harmful effects? Only eating healthy food. How to understand that food is healthy? In search of an answer to this question, I read many articles and books and concluded that there is no more thorough and rigorous approach to the production of baby food than organic. After all, only complete and impeccable compliance with all the norms of organic certification at each stage of production (starting from the quality of the land, seeds, processing and ending with packaging) entitles the manufacturer to receive the appropriate certificate.
If they tell you that it is organic, but they cannot provide a certificate, this is a risk. You may be assured that the cow was not fed antibiotics, and the plants were not watered with pesticides, but this fact is not at all excluded. And there is no evidence. I am not ready to risk the health of my own child, so I choose organic. nine0005
Mom Luda, son Lubomir (2 years old), expecting another baby:
Even during my first pregnancy, I understood that organic is the best thing on the baby food market. And since the child wants to give the best, then, of course, they tried to feed the son with organic baby food. When he grew up, they switched to grandmother's tomatoes / cucumbers. Now we are waiting for replenishment in the family. And when the question of complementary foods comes up, I will give preference to organic. I love the HiPP product range. And cereals, and monocomponent vegetable and fruit purees, and tea, and cookies are the ideal choice for the first feeding.
nine0005
Mom Natasha , son Miron (2 years old), daughter Ira (3 years old):
careful control. You can be sure that in order not to use pesticides in pest control, manual labor and natural methods were used. For example, I know that favorable conditions are being created for the vital activity of beneficial insects and birds that fight pests. And the animals graze in open organic fields, consuming a variety of natural food. Such animals are not only stronger, but also healthier. The only disadvantage of organic food is that it is more expensive than other baby food, but in this case, the price is, of course, justified. nine0005
Mother Galina, sons Bogdan (2 years old) and Ivan (4 years old):
We are what we eat. And proceeding from this, we really want our children to be healthy and strong. My husband and I have been looking at various jars / bottles for a long time.
