Why is there a splash of lemon juice in some Ella’s Kitchen products?
Our Smoothie Fruit, Stage 1 Baby food and Baby Brekkie pouches are designed to be as close as possible to something you would make at home. To help us do this we carefully balance our recipes so that they are naturally acidic - gentle enough for little tummies, but hostile to nasty bugs. This reduces the need for lots of heat processing, enabling us to gently pasteurise these products and not to use preservatives, unlike some other branded foods. It’s natural for the acidity of the fruits we use to vary across the seasons, so to ‘re-balance’ this sometimes we may need to add a dash of organic lemon juice to these products. This doesn’t affect the taste; it simply means that we can create healthy, safe and long lasting food for your little ones. Easy-peasy.
