We love trying new things and when the opportunity came up for us to have an exclusive taste test of the NEW Sprout Baby Food we were thrilled! Let me start by introducing what Sprout is and where it's come from!
Chef Tyler Florence started this baby food line when he started thinking about the food he wanted his three kids to eat. This is what he has to say,
My wife Tolan and I want our children to eat food that is wholesome and delicious, but like most parents, we have careers and busy lives. So as a father, I'm always thinking about what I want my children to eat and how I can treat them to the healthy and delicious meals they deserve...even when time is an issue.
My longtime friend Max and I put our heads together to try and create a new food product for babies that would help parents make easy and smart decisions for their children. We looked at everything from the packaging and presentation to how the food was cooked and of course, the ingredients themselves. As a chef, I focused on complimentary food combinations and ways to cook them to bring out all of the gorgeous natural flavors inside. With thousands more taste buds than even adults have, babies love great taste. And with Sprout, we are determined to give them the flavors they crave.
Sprout Baby Food is the result of many years of research, development and most importantly, fatherhood. And I know that you and your baby will agree that my love of food and flavor comes through in every delicious bite.
Sprout baby food uses the purest organic ingredients only, certified organic by the USDA. There are NO sugars, fillers, preservatives - just pure food! Even better is the packaging - it's brought to us in a BPA revolutionary eco-friendly pouch that is easy to open and re-use! They have two different stages of food, depending on your child's age:
Even though our boys are 18 months old and having been eating what we eat at the table for months now, we still LOVE Sprout and find great easy ways to get fruits and veggies into their diet! Here are a few ideas for older kids:
- Mix a pouch of Sprout into plain yogurt (great for picky eaters!)
- Mix a pouch of Sprout into some pasta for a quick and healthy meal!
- Spread some Sprout puree onto bread/toast for breakfast or a great snack! (Great way to sneak in extra veggies!)
