Herbs and Spice and Everything Nice - That's What Jack's Harvest is Made Of!

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Before pharmaceuticals were widely available, humans looked to nature for cures and restoratives. Jack’s Harvest, frozen organic baby food embraces nature’s pharmacy to enhance baby’s wellness from the very first bite of food. Jack’s Harvest has chosen to add organic herbs and spices to its baby food to tempt curious taste buds and provide extra health benefits. A dash of cinnamon, cumin, ginger, mint, turmeric or vanilla not only helps to boost developing immune systems and aid in digestion, but adds appealing flavor as well. In addition, these herbs and spices are not common allergens.

“If babies are exposed at an early stage to a depth of flavor, not just sweet or salty, but savory, complex spices like cumin, turmeric and cinnamon, their palates develop and they are inclined to accept more than just simple carbohydrates”

Parents around the world feed their babies food with complex flavor. “Babies don’t have to wait to try herbs and spices. In many countries, spices are offered from the very beginning,” said Dr. Julie Segal, a pediatrician at Children’s Wellness Center in Atlanta, Georgia. “I like that Jack’s Harvest’s organic baby food gives parents a choice to feed their babies food that is rich in both flavor and wellness.”

The inspiration for Jack’s Harvest’s cauli-baba potatoes with a touch of turmeric, cumin & lime was derived from a common Indian curry of spiced cauliflower and potatoes called Gobi Aloo. “If babies are exposed at an early stage to a depth of flavor, not just sweet or salty, but savory, complex spices like cumin, turmeric and cinnamon, their palates develop and they are inclined to accept more than just simple carbohydrates,” said co-owner of Jack’s Harvest Heather Schoenrock.

“Adding spices supports our core belief that babies have taste buds and know what tastes good,” said co-owner of Jack’s Harvest Connie Pope. “Yes, plain sweet potatoes are tasty, but add a dash of cinnamon and vanilla and they’re even more delicious – and healthier for you.”

Cinnamon is added to several Jack’s Harvest offerings including: awesome apples, what a pear, lip-smacking sweet potatoes and pearsnip. According to The World’s Healthiest Foods, cinnamon boosts the immune system, regulates blood sugar, acts as an anti-inflammatory, reduces risk of certain cancers, helps prevent heart disease, promotes digestive health, heightens brain activity, including cognitive processing and memory and contains antibacterial properties. Extra flavor means extra wellness. With Jack’s Harvest, there’s a dash of wellness in every bite.

Inspired by their quest to find the healthiest, most nutritious and delicious baby food for their babies, friends Heather Schoenrock and Connie Pope founded Jack’s Harvest in late 2007. All Jack’s Harvest baby foods are handmade using the best quality certified organic produce, herbs and spices. Jack’s Harvest offers a wide variety of fruit and vegetable purees that babies and parents love. Flavors are seasonal. New spring flavors will be coming out in April 2008.
