Initiatives
Lil’ Gourmets, the first fresh organic veggie meal, was founded to change the way that we think about kids food. By introducing vegetable-led meals with no added salt or sugar to young eaters, we can help foster a lifelong love of vegetables and real, nutritious foods.
84.4% of infants and toddlers consume foods with added sugars on any given day.
