First Tastes pouches have a single fruit puree in each. The ingredients list also highlights just how simple and healthy they are, for example, one pouch just contains: organic pears, organic apples and organic brown rice.
The packaging is often as important as the taste when it comes to children, so the fact that the pouches are bright and colorful makes them super child-friendly. The pouch itself is also very tactile and easy to use, further stimulating your child and encouraging them to have a taste.

Peter Rabbit Organics is an US Organic
These have no added sugars (which are sometimes used as preservatives) and not diluted with water. They are perfect for throwing into a diaper bag for a quick snack on the go.
Unfortunately, the labels are slightly misleading. For example, the “pea, spinach and apple” puree is made primarily of apple. Any of the varieties that contain apple are primarily apple. It’s not a huge deal, I understand that apples make cheap base, but it’s just something I wish they didn’t do. Other than that, though, these are really good, natural and healthy
They’re about the same price as the other pouches on the list, so it really comes down to personal preference.
