Healthy Hints and Tips

• Use frozen as a natural option for teething gums!
•  Looking for something to feed your toddler?  Try cooking pasta or rice and pour one of our delicious purees over top!
• Create your own juice - add water to one of our fruit or veggie purees, stir and drink the tasty goodness - adults too!
• Avoid the conventional DIRTY DOZEN and make sure these are ORGANIC:  Peaches, Apples, Bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce, potatoes. 
• If you opt not to purchase organic 100% of the time, try some of the produce items that tend to be lower in pesticides and are rated 'consistently clean' by the Environmental Working Group - US research organization:  Bananas, avacados, blueberries, papaya, kiwi, pineapple, plums, mangoes, broccoli & caulifower.
• Screaming baby, frozen food!  Plan ahead - take some cups from the freezer and place in the fridge the day before.  The cups are ready to eat!
• Certified Organic - Recent studies have shown that organic produce tend to have up to 30% more antioxidants than non-organics.  Researchers believe that the developing brain is most in need of these benefits during the first 2 years of life.
