Organic Foods for Your Baby?

Earth's Best Organic Foods

As a mom to three I've been through more baby food products than I can count. With my oldest two children I used a tried and true baby food brand that's been around for decades. Since those two were babies I've since learned about the benefits of organic foods. When my youngest was born I realized that I need to find something different and healthier for my baby; so I decided to branch out and see what I could find in the organic market for babies.

What did I find?

A yummy tasting organic brand of baby food called Earth's Best. Earth's Best was founded in 1985 by two twin brothers; Ron and Arnie Koss. They saw the need for organic baby food and started their company by making 3 fruit and 2 vegetable purees for babies. The company grew and expanded and now offers over 50 different organic products for babies, toddlers and children.

But why organic?

Not only is organic food healthier for you, but I've found that it tastes better too! Earth's Best products are produced without the use of potentially harmful synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. They also do not contain genetically engineered ingredients (GEIs). Earth's Best foods are certified USDA organic by Oregon Tilth.

Are any of them Kosher?

Except for the meat varieties, the majority of Earth's Best foods are certified Kosher.

But do they taste good?

Yes Yes and Yes! Their toddler snacks are so good they even have me sneaking bites out of the box. My favorites are the Sesame Street Organic Crunchin Crackers and the Letter of the Day Cookies. My 14 month old toddler loves the Sesame Street Sunny Day Snack Bars and the Crunchin Grahams.

What kind of products does Earth Best offer?

They make a variety of food for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and older children.

For babies they offer organic baby purees and soups in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd stage jars. There is also organic formula, semolina pasta, baby cereal, juice and teething biscuits.

For toddlers, preschoolers and older children they have breakfast items, frozen meals, pasta, juice, milk, applesauce and snacks.

Ok, but aren't organic foods expensive?
