Annika’s Favourites is healthy baby food which is as delicious and nutritious as the best home prepared meals and 100% Australian owned and run.  It is made in our kitchen using ingredients direct from the farm and is prepared in small batches and then quickly frozen to preserve nutrients.  Numerous studies have shown that frozen fruit and vegetables are equally or more nutritious than the fresh equivalent (Journal of Food Quality, Choice Magazine), this is because the produce deteriorates over the length of time that it is picked to when it arrives in a store (Choice Magazine 2007).  

Another study showed that frozen green beans had more than twice the vitamin C as green beans that had been displayed in the store and then stored in the fridge before eating (Journal of Food Quality).And in the case of baby food, all food in jar/tins are heated to a very high temperature after packaging to sterilise the ingredients which allows it to sit on the shelf for a long time but means that lots of the nutrients are lost.

Instead, Annika’s Favourites uses freezing as nature’s preservative and is then sealed using minimal packaging to be kinder to the environment. Annika’s Favourites is developed by a socially responsible businesswoman and mother in consultation with her one-year-old daughter Annika, based on the philosophy that to help our babies grow, develop and thrive everything that they eat should be delicious, and as pure as the babies themselves.
