Two Moms on a Mission: YumTum Organic Baby Food Moms, Business Owners Launch National Online Baby Food Store
Madison, WI (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- Moms Heidi Speight and Jacy Eckerman, owners of YumTum organic freshly frozen baby food, learned the lesson all parents discover when it is time to feed their babies. There’s a lot of information out there and lots of choices, and the healthiest meals are homemade. Not all parents have the time or desire to make their own homemade baby food, and now they don't have to. Parents in the lower 48 states can now order natural, nutrient-rich, and tasty organic baby food with a click of a button via YumTum’s new online baby food store. http://www.yumtumdelivers.com/store/
“I’m just like all other moms and dads - I want the best for my baby. But, life is hectic and making homemade baby food all the time is hard. I don’t have to worry about that anymore. With YumTum, I know that my baby is getting the best – a wholesome, homemade meal, and best of all, with their new online store, it’s delivered to my doorstep!” said Kelly Janz.
YumTum is different from other leading organic baby food on the market because they get over 90% of their produce from local organic farms. This means the food is made within days of harvest which helps lock in vital nutrients that can be lost when food is over processed and transported thousands of miles. http://www.yumtumdelivers.com/organic-baby-food/
Frozen baby food is not the obvious choice for busy parents, but it’s a choice that pays off. YumTum isn't over-cooked or over-processed. It is made is small batches, gently steamed, pureed and quickly frozen to lock in the nutrients. This process is much different than other pouch and jarred baby food companies that typically use high heat in order to make their baby food last longer on the shelf. This process of over cooking reduces the levels of important nutrients, changes the color, and takes the taste right out of the end product.
“YumTum is unique – it’s pure wholesome baby food chock full of nutrients and freshness,” said Katie Sommers. “Yum Tum is easy for parents too. After feeding my little boy YumTum over the past year, he readily eats up his veggies and won’t have anything to do with water-downed and overcooked pouch food.”
The food comes in convenient grab-and-go bags with zip-lock enclosures so parents can take out a cube or two at a time, minimizing waste. They can also defrost the whole bag and use it all week. The healthy toddler snacks are packaged the same way and are great for a day out, or can last all week to feed those hungry little snackers. http://www.yumtumdelivers.com/why-yumtum/
"There are so many naturally nutrient rich tasty foods out there, after lots of research we started making recipes that combine these superfood ingredients to make the most nutrient rich and yummy food possible," said Eckerman. "For example ground flaxseed offers a great source of Omega 3's which helps the immune system, along with fiber which babies and toddlers need to keep things moving. We have also combined legumes and rice to make a complete vegetable protein."
Parents will be thrilled to watch their 8 month old gobbling down Tofanaberry which contains six grams of protein per serving, or when they serve their three year old some yummy bright green Appykale made with Wisconsin grown organic apples and kale. YumTum also offers four different combo packages online so parents can order a variety of age appropriate food for their little ones. This is a great way to try more than one menu item at once.
The YumTum moms had a hard time finding healthy toddler snacks and after talking with many other parents found this to be a common problem. This inspired YumTum to create an entire line of hearty healthy toddler snacks. Their new gluten-free cookie, the Doodle Dee, is a chewy and moist chicpea based cookie that is quickly turning out to be a bestseller. http://www.yumtumdelivers.com/hearty-lil-toddler-snacks/
YumTum all began when the two mom started feeding their little ones, who happen to be two days apart. They developed a passion for nutrition, researching, and decided that it was time to pool their skills together and to create YumTum. "We are on a mission to start a baby food revolution!" says Speight. "If you start out feeding your baby whole foods that are low in sodium and sugar, it will help train their pallets to enjoy healthy foods for life. YumTum is proud to make delicious and nutritious food that both parents and little ones love."
YumTum sells all ten of their menu items in multiple grocery stores in Wisconsin and has delivered their first shipment to the exciting new Baby Grocery Store in North Carolina. The online launch is part of a long term vision to bring YumTum to larger cities like Minneapolis and Chicago in the Midwest and eventually to grocery stores nationwide.
