Makes a tasty and nutritious meal for infants. Suitable as a tasty snack for adults.,
Since I do not have any infants at home, at least not any more, I self-tested the product. As mentioned above, the predominant flavor is that of sweet squash. The product would likely make a great snack for adults use during a daytime hiking trip or during a camping trip. It is convenient. The envelope very easy to open (no need to struggle with scissors or with a kitchen knife).

|A good choice for a “first food” cereal, if you can find it,
My experiences with the iron-fortified version is the exact opposite: baby hates it, doesn’t mix well (gelatinous blobs), tastes terrible (isn’t easy on the nose, either), and comes in a multi-serving pouch. It’s also, unfortunately for me, easier to find at stores than the individual packs of the quinoa-only version.
With the growing concerns of synthetic arsenic levels, artificial fortifications, GMOs, and other variables lurking around your baby’s diet and down the supermarket aisle, shelf-stable alternatives to self-prepared items come under a lot of fire, due or undue. This product (the quinoa-only version) is such a value to have. The trend of quinoa as a first-food/infant cereal is a growing one; until some of the more prominent get in on the game, I’ll be using the NurturMe lines.
I’ve seen vendors use stock photos of both versions when selling the stuff. The stuff seems new and obscure, but make sure you’re getting the right version. You might find this product is currently more difficult to procure than you think…

|Great way to add veggies into a toddler’s diet …,
It only took a minute to mix and have a combo fruit and veggie dish. The taste was predominantly vegetable, but wasn’t at all offensive nor did it have an off taste. There was enough for two or three meals, depending on the size of the child or adult being served. I say space-saving because if this didn’t come in small, convenient pouches it would have taken up quite a bit of shelf space.
I do like the fact that everything is organic, organic, organic and certified as such. I did check out the Nurturme site and do like the social commitment to others. They donate 1% of the profits stating that “By purchasing our quinoa products, you’re giving back to the health, wellness, and education of the children of Peru.” Definitely a product that I’d purchase again. Not a thing I dislike about the product or the company.

|Best buy for organic REFINED coconut oil,
Refined coconut oil is:
– not going to have the coconut taste and smell you might have been expecting if you are new to the product, it very neutral.
– whereas it can definitely be used on the skin and hair, it is prepared in a way to allow it to be brought up to higher temperatures before burning and smoking, creating an unwanted taste and texture. For this reason I use refined coconut oil strictly for cooking purposes. If you are wanting to add coconut oil to a smoothie or eat of of the can, or to use on hair and skin, UNREFINED raw coconut oil is what you will want to use.
I have rated this oil five stars because it is a nice consistency, well packaged (however I do prefer a glass container), and ability to perform at high heat in the saucepan. We have used this in five recipes so far after only having it for two days. It is firmer than most oils I have tried, but just as the top of the package indicates, it will soften at a very specific temperature, 76 F. I believe this might be a common complaint of this brand, so they have started putting a sticker on the top of the lid ( which is not shown on the amazon website photos.)
If it is too hard to scoop out and measure easily, simply submerge the container in warm or hot water for a few seconds. It doesn’t take long to loosen up and turn into more of a liquid.
Pros:
– Refined naturally – many of the cheaper refined oils are done so with a chemical distillation process, usually using lye or other fairly harsh solvents. Refined coconut oil could also be made up of the byproduct of creating dried coconut flakes for baking. This oil is done naturally, and while it doesn’t go into detail on the outside of the container, natural refinement usually involves steam separation.
– Uniform consistency
– Can be used at high temperatures while cooking
Cons:
– This oil is on the harder side of oils I have used in the past, it seems to take a little more heat to make it pliable. Other refined oils I have used are softer sitting at room temperature, so you will almost always need to warm this up a bit (no big deal, just an extra step)
If you are wanting a soft, luxurious, and healthy coconut oil to put on your skin and hair, try an organic unrefined, or raw, coconut oil. That will give you that smell and feel you may be looking for topical use. This bottle I’m reviewing would not be enjoyable to take a spoonful of plain, it would be like eating a spoonful of margarine. Raw oil is very tasty, (in my opinion.)
