Petite Palate
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATS, JACKIE H IS THE WINNER!
My baby’s a very picky eater…it’s either a yes or no. So, I was a bit hesitant about trying out Petite Palate because everything about Petite Palate sounded exceptional to me. Organic, fresh, superior taste and packed with nutrients and vitamins and I really wanted EJ to enjoy eating it. Guess what!? He thoroughly enjoyed it and Petite Palate passed with flying colors. Moms, Lisa Beels, a graduate of Cordon Blue in London and Christine Naylor, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, began to perfect their own infant baby food together over playdates when their sons were very young. Once friends caught on to what these moms were doing they begged them to make some for special events. And thus began the development of what has now become Petite Palate.
Their philosphy is to change the way we feed our infants and children. Most parents start out by giving their babies jarred baby food. The jarring process (heating to high temperatures until sterilized and shelf stable), destroys many of the vitamins and nutrients that occur naturally in the food. In order to bolster the nutritional value of the jarred food, common practice is to add vitamin and mineral additives after cooking that did not come from the food itself. Petite Palate’s meals, on the other hand, are Flash Frozen, which maintains the food’s own nutritional content while sustaining the shelf life (frozen). So that in the future kids will have developed taste buds that will choose nutrition over processed foods and will set healthy eating habits for life.
Petite Palate offers fantastic menu of baby flavors such as Apple Pear Blend, Lentil Stew, Spinach Potato Puree, Split Pea Soup, Puree of Garnet Yams, and Banana Peach Blend. Available through Amazon.com.
