Organix is one of a number of
baby food brands on the market that makes a range of
organic foods for babies, toddlers and children.
The
Organix philosophy is that all baby food should be
tasty and offer the
best nutrition. They claim to use the
best organically grown ingredients, cooked simply to ensure
optimum taste and nutrition. They also go
one step further and
never add artificial colourings, preservatives,
artificial flavourings or processed sugars to any of their baby food.
This is a
philosophy that I and many mums have
no problem buying into. My
preference is to give Eva
home-cooked meals, but there are times where for
speed or convenience, it is useful to have
ready-made foods in the house.
I had tried a couple of
Organix meals in the past, and found that although I liked the
clearly labelled packaging and the
ingredients, the meals did not quite
deliver on flavour compared with my favourite brand.
So when
Organix brought out some
new flavours, I had to try them.
The
Sweet Potato, Pear & Pea was a nice combination, and despite being aimed at
younger babies, went down very well with Eva. The
Spinach and Salmon Risotto was a
good texture for older babies and also
tasty. Unfortunately the
Pasta with Aubergine and Red Pepper was a little on the
bland side, although Eva
ate it up quite happily nonetheless.
Organix is more
reasonably priced than some brands and I would
certainly buy them again to add a bit more variety to Eva's
store cupboard.
