Buying Organic Baby Food Made Easy

Buying organic baby food has never been easier... mainly due to the increasing number of people who don't want to feed their families on pesticides and fertilizers.

Box Schemes

Find out if there is a box scheme in your area. An assortment of organic foods are delivered to your door in various sizes according to your needs. You can ask for particular favorites or omissions, but generally you get a supply of whatever is best at the time.

It is a great way to discover new tastes that you wouldn't perhaps think of buying - celeriac, curly kale, persimmons, star fruits and all the rest.

Farmers Markets

Then there are farmers markets. There are more and more of these, even in big cities... and it is really good because you can actually talk to the producers.

They will be able to tell you what is best and how to cook it. Oftentimes they even have cookery demonstrations.

Specially Prepared For Baby

Then there are the specially prepared jars or packets just for baby.

Try Earth's Best at http://www.earthsbest.com.Toddlers will love their organic alphabet pasta. Older babies will enjoy the Country Dinner range.

Even those who like to prepare the food themselves will have occasions when these jars are useful - a long trip or the day you have to do a million other things.

Or have you tried Baby Cubes - ready frozen cubes of organic fruit and vegetables?

You don't have to serve them alone of course - you could mix them with milk or formula or perhaps some baby rice, or sweet potato. There are thousands of ideas available on the net as well as advice about preparing, safety, storage etc.

Storing Organic Baby Food

Storage is quite an important point. Babies eat very little at one time. At first may be only a teaspoonful or so.

It is best if you buy little and often, unless you have a very large larder or freezer. If you use the freezer pack food in tiny portions - ice cube trays are fine or you can buy trays of little cubic boxes. When using ice trays wrap them in cling film rather than foil in case bits of the brittle foil break off and become embedded in the food.

Label really well - it seems obvious a the time what you are packing, but after a month or so apricot puree can look awfully like swede ( rutabaga) and cheese sauce like custard.

There are those who say that organic vegetables are no better for you. That they are expensive and not uniform in size.  But herein lies a big opportunity for...

Buying Organic Baby Food Cheaply

Search in your area if there is a store near you that sells 'ugly' vegetables. These are veggies like bent carrots, uneven parsnips and all the rest.

The best thing is that they are still organic... but the grower hasn't got the certificates and paperwork to say so. Use these vegetables. By the time they are cleaned, chopped and cooked - especially when liquidized for your baby - no-one will be able to tell whether or not they were beautiful to look at or even in size.

It a simple, effective way of saving lots of money when buying organic baby food.
