Product Review - Plum Organics Tots Mish Mash Fruit Purees

I learned about Plum Organics from The Mothers of Invention, a story about Mom entrepreneurs in a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal. I was so impressed that I decided to try their squeezable fruit purees with our twins. I found them in our local Babies ‘R Us, although they are also available in Whole Foods. They have a broader range of pureed products, including both fruits and vegetable purees for babies. Since we are not at the baby stage any more, I was happy to find the mish-mash line of products for toddlers. Still I ended up buying both the baby and tots products just to try them out.

Just like the Buddy Fruits I reviewed a few weeks ago, these fruit purees come in a squeezable pouch. It came in handy as a snack when my daughter woke up from her afternoon nap and stepped outside to play in the backyard!

Here is what we like about this product -

100% fruit, no sugar added
USDA certified organic
Does not need to be refrigerated if unopened. After opening, you can keep the leftover in the fridge for 24 hours
3 fruit options available – peach, banana, strawberry
The fruit and vegetable blend for babies comes in 6 varieties with blends from sweet potato, corn, apple, spinach, peas, pear, pumpkin, banana, mango, peach, apricot, and carrots. Even though they are targeted for babies, I think they will go well with toddlers too

Here is what we don’t like about this product -

Can be a little messy if the child squeezes the tube before putting the open top end in the mouth
High cost; 1 packet costs over a dollar. They happened to be on sale that day in Babies ‘R Us at $10 for 10

Overall, we are giving them a thumbs up despite the high cost. Hopefully, the cost will come down with new packaging innovations.
