In addition, baby food tends to be higher in arsenic due to the rice component. Our recipes contain less arsenic and focus on a variety of grains like quinoa, whole grain pasta, and bulgur.

Our healthy children recipes contain healthy sugar sources, healthy fat sources, and healthy proteins.

We focus really hard on creating recipes kids would love and enjoy eating.
