lil'gourmets

Lil' Gourmets makes refrigerated, organic baby food pouches built around vegetables and beans, seasoned with spice blends inspired by cuisines from India, Morocco, the Middle East and beyond. The pouches are cold-pressure processed instead of heat-treated and have no added salt or sugar. Founder and CEO Shibani Baluja started the brand after cooking flavorful vegetable meals at home for her son, Jayden, and wanting other parents to have a fresh, ready-to-eat option.
