Meet our World Explorer Collection: Discover The Best Baby Food Pouches From Around The World!

Little ones are wired to explore. They observe, they touch, and they put everything into their mouths. As parents, we love to encourage exploration. One fun way to do that is through food!

Introducing new foods and flavors encourages little ones to use their taste buds to explore the world. This was the inspiration for our latest creation: World Explorer pouches! Little ones can explore some of the best flavor combos inspired by cuisines from around the world with a variety of meats, veggies, herbs, and spices.  

So why travel the world through food with your little one? Here are the three reasons that inspired our latest creation.

1. To expand their palate

Babies enter a new stage of exploration of textures and flavors when introduced to solids. Our World Explorers collection allows little ones to explore a broader variety of flavors in a fun, nutritious, and convenient way.

We use savory meats, veggies, and spices to serve up an international culinary-inspired flavor profile that are as unique as they are delicious.  Plus, like all of our products, they skip any added sugar, filler fruits, and weird additives. Just real food ingredients for your little one!

We know that infants are hardwired to prefer sweet tastes, but early exposure to a variety of flavors may help to expand a child’s taste preferences. The period of greatest influence during which humans are most receptive to a variety of new flavors is called the flavor window. The flavor window is most open between the ages of 4 to 18 months, so frequent exposure during this time frame can help prevent picky eating and set up your little one for a lifetime of healthy food adventures. Our World Explorers pouches are a great new way to expand the flavor window!

And remember, if your little one doesn’t take to the taste immediately, be persistent - research shows that it can take up to 15 exposures for a baby to “learn” to like a taste.

2. To provide more meat for babies

Did you know that meat is an ideal first food for your little one? It’s true, and we’re elevating the experience with new flavor combinations of our meat and veggie-packed pouches. In case you missed it, here’s a quick rundown of why meat is great for babies:

Meat is easy to digest

It’s a myth that meat is hard to digest. Meat is actually easier for babies to digest than vegetables, fruits, or grains. Plus, meat has the added benefit of having more flavor and many more nutrients than fruit purees or bland rice cereal. 

Meat has healthy fats

Fat is critical for brain development, hormone regulation, and building the immune system. Fat is also needed to absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Meat includes healthy fats that also add flavor babies love.

Meat is savory, not sweet

As we have already discussed, babies benefit from tasting a wide variety of savory flavors. In a world full of applesauce pouches, let your baby taste something savory and flavorful!

Meat is full of the nutrients babies really need

Babies require certain nutrients to successfully grow and develop properly. Nutrients like heme iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, plus omega-3 fatty acids are particularly critical to baby’s health.

Meat is versatile

Meat can be prepared in a variety of different textures and seasoned in so many ways to enhance its flavor or to introduce new flavors through spices and herbs. 

And we know quality matters. Pasture-raised and regeneratively sourced meat is higher in many vitamins and minerals, Omega-3s, and conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs). Our World Explorer pouches contain 5 grams of protein from ethically sourced meat and 5 grams of healthy fats.

To encourage cultural education and connectivity

Food is the international language of love, and it is a great way to explore and appreciate different cultures. Our World Explorer pouches allow you to easily introduce your little one to cuisines from around the world! The unique and flavorful recipes will make eating adventurous for your little one. Whether your little one is joining you at the table or you’re looking for portable food on the go, our World Explorers Pouches are the best baby food pouches for flavor exploration.

Of course, babies can also explore different cuisines by sharing in their family's meals through baby-led weaning. We love to combine baby-led weaning with purees - here's why.

FAQs

You've got questions, we've got answers!

Do unopened pouches need to be refrigerated?

Thanks to the high-heat, high-pressure retort process (similar to canning) that our pouches go through, there is no need to refrigerate unopened pouches! However, once you’ve opened the pouch, be sure to refrigerate it and consume or freeze within 24 hours of opening.

Can my Serenity Kids World Explorers pouches be microwaved?

No. Our pouches are designed to be enjoyed at room temperature, but if your child prefers them warm or you’ve stored an open pouch in the refrigerator, we suggest that you place the pouch in hot water or a bottle warmer. Do not microwave them!

How long will an open pouch last?

We recommend eating or freezing an open pouch within 24 hours of opening.

Can my Serenity Kids pouches be frozen?

Yes! Once opened, you can freeze the puree within 24 hours of opening. This way your child can have it for later consumption! You also can freeze the entire unopened pouched and its contents – popsicles, anyone?

Are Serenity kids pouches BPA free?

Yes! Our pouches are made from BPA-free plastic.

Is there a risk for mold in your baby food pouches?

Definitely not! Unlike most baby food, our pouches are put through a high-heat, high-pressure process after they are sealed. This process kills all potential pathogens or mold. The reports you may have heard about parents finding mold were all in pouches that had been processed using “hot fill”, meaning they pasteurize it first and then fill the pouches, which allows the small chance of contamination in between.

A flavor adventure
