Corn is rich in insoluble fiber that feeds the good bacteria in the gut, which aids in digestion. Throw in a healthy amount of vitamin A, B, E, plus iron and potassium, and you have got one sweet package. The eggs in these fritters provide a high-quality protein making them incredibly nutritious.

Did you know that avocado is actually a fruit?

I discovered Kiwigarden’s freeze-dried apple slices when my first son was around 10 months old and I was on a hunt for healthier snack options for him. It was love from the first bite! If you never heard of freeze-dried products you will be thrilled to know that there are no nutrients lost during this modern manufacturing process that involves removing all the water content in the frozen state of the product.
