Food Smarts

Some people wonder what makes my food so much better than most baby food. And there's two things. Firstly, it's all about using only the very best ingredients. That makes sense. But there's also some clever thinking that goes into the way it's cooked. That's all a bit complicated for me so I asked our food experts all about it and this is what they said.

The way Rafferty’s Garden is prepared is unique, not only do we use the freshest most premium ingredients to start the process, but the way we cook and package it ensures children are getting only the very best in nutrition and flavours.

All ingredients that go into the Rafferty’s range are of premium quality. We use only the freshest, 100% natural fruit and vegetables and our meat is of the finest cuts. We are great believers that if you cook with quality then you maximise the nutrition, flavour and texture potential of the food. Why give your child anything less?

The most important thing is that in the cooking process there is NOTHING ELSE added. We use only the necessary amount of cooking water to hydrate the pasta or cook the vegetables. We don’t add sugar, salt, preservatives, additives or anything artificial – our herbs and spices are like you’d grow at home not extracts or flavours. And, because we use only the best ingredients no thickening agents are required either.

At Rafferty’s we use a specially designed cooking method, which means that the products are only cooked once, so as to retain the nutritional value of all ingredients. For our Lumpy range this process means that the lumps of food practically melt in your mouth!

The design of our recipes and the different food combinations ensures that maximum flavour and nutrition is achieved, as well as enabling us to educate our childrens’ palates through a healthy, varied and nutritious diet.
