Our Ingredients

Littlemore organic baby and toddler snack puffs have only four simple, organic ingredients and NEVER any corn, rice, sugar, or salt.

By using simple and thoughtfully chosen ingredients, we hope to make your family's snack time a little more wholesome. With only four ingredients and a simple pie chart to explain how much of each ingredient we use, you'll never be wondering what goes in our snacks.

One of our founders, Dr. Joana Fraser, is a working Harvard-associated pediatrician. She recommends that parents resist the temptation to underestimate their kids' palates. The common assumption that babies and toddlers only like bland, sweet, or fruity food is wrong!

In fact, children of all ages can appreciate a broad spectrum of flavors, and serving kids a variety of savory foods and snacks regularly promotes the development of a diverse palate.

We specifically chose savory flavors for our puffs to help inspire adventurous eating. We don't believe in hiding good healthy flavors behind fruit, sugar, or salt.

We know that life is complicated, but we think choosing snacks for your baby or toddler shouldn't be.

Sorghum

Sorghum is an ancient grain, a trendy term right now, but it really just means that it hasn't changed in thousands of years.

We chose to use sorghum in our puffs because it's a nutritionally denser superfood with more nutrients than rice or corn.

In fact, it contains 40% more protein and 300% more fiber than white rice.

Even better, sorghum is an earth-friendly crop that requires ⅓ of the amount of water to grow than corn does. 

High Oleic Sunflower Oil

Sunflowers are also high in oleic oils, which are among the healthiest oils on the planet.

In fact, high oleic sunflower oil is composed of more than 80% monounsaturated or good fats — that's more than olive oil.

The sunflower oil we use in our puffs is expeller pressed, unlike many other manufacturing processes that use solvents to extract the oil. We use just a tiny amount so that the flavors stick to the puffs. 

Sunflower Protein

We included organic sunflower protein in all of our puffs for two good reasons - better nutrition and a perfect texture.

Sunflower protein also gives our puffs that perfectly melty consistency, making them suitable for babies six months and older - no teeth required. It's also a great source of protein. In fact, one bag of our puffs provides up to 15% of a child's daily protein needs.


Sunflower Butter

Sunflower butter (only in our sunflower flavor puffs) contains similar protein levels as peanut and almond butter but less saturated fat, and it is bursting with nutrients like vitamin E, zinc, iron, and magnesium. 

Sunflowers are also great for the environment because they increase the organic content and water holding capacity of the soil around them.

Tomato

We use only perfectly ripe, organic tomatoes to make our organic tomato powder in tomato flavor puffs.
