 Great variety means no picky eaters! Nov 29, 2009
By Mizz Sevilla
We discovered Earth's Best when my oldest started solids years ago. They had a more limited selection then, but offered more variety than the "regular" brands. For him, we only bought a few jars each trip, those flavors that we couldn't get in another brand. For our second child, we added a few more. With the 3rd baby, we started out on the larger brands, but he wouldn't eat them. Who can blame him!? They're runny and lacking any flavor. Not to mention, no matter how good sweet potatoes are, how many jars can you eat? He gobbles up every jar of Earth's Best without any problems. When we introduce a new flavor, he's all for it.
I agree with other posts that some of the flavors are very runny. We just add a few tsp. of cereal and problem solved.
Earth's Best is more expensive. I calculated that every 2 weeks of food costs me $15 more than buying the other brands. However, we decided that since he eats it all (vs. being very picky with other brands) it's a wash.
If you want to use Earth's Best for your baby w/out breaking the bank, try these tips:
*Visit Earth's Best's website and print off all the coupons they'll allow (usually 3), have family and friends do the same
*Buy at Whole Foods. They have good prices and when you buy a lot, they give you a bulk discount
*You can also buy them by the case at Meijers for less than $10.00, cheaper than here!

 Very sweet, not terribly healthful. Feb 25, 2009
By Victoria Compton
"Hyakamooks"
I thought I was doing my kid a favor when I invested in a case of Earth's Best dinners. Unfortunately, the second ingredient (after water) for all of these is....applesauce. Or in the case of the "Sweet Potato & Chicken" variety, it's sweet potatoes, followed by apricot puree.
After getting used to the sweetness of these (try 'em - they're like jam), it's difficult for kids to adjust to "real" food. From now on, I'm going to stick with just pureeing home-cooked food. It's a lot cheaper, too.

 Did a lot of research on this brand Jan 07, 2011
By Devons_Mom
According to a lot of reviews on top baby food brands overall, Earth's Best was always voted to be in the Top 5 of all the lists of reviews by Mom Links, Consumer Reports, Livestrong, Baby Health Sites. Here is a excerpt from one of the sites (I think it was from eHow.com):
The Center for Science in the Public Interest evaluated popular brands of baby foods, including Gerbers, Heinz, Earth's Best and Beech-Nut. According to the Center's report, Earth's Best did not use starchy fillers or "replace real food with water and thickening agents in many of their products for children over six months of age. Such adulterated products are nutritionally inferior to products made with more fruits and vegetables." Earth's Best uses certified organic products. The brand offers single-ingredient, smooth foods for infants over four months; fruit, vegetable, grain and meat blends for babies over six months; and a variety of chunky soups, dinners and vegetable medleys for children over nine months old. Earth's Best products are sold at supermarkets, natural food stores and big box stores nationwide.
Plus, my baby girl loves it. Yes, it might be a little runnier than the other baby foods, but I just add a little rice with it and that fixes it.

Baby's Best Pre-Packaged Feb 06, 2011
By Georgina
We only use jarred baby food as emergency food. I make all my little one's food and freeze it or give it fresh. Yes, full time working mom but really is it that hard to cook, puree and freeze basic foods like carrots that cost $1.27 for 2 pounds? I taste all the foods that my baby eats and enjoy the Earth's Best line because they taste real. It's not food that you could add to a baby shower game and go "what in the world was that?" They use quinoa and kamut flours. It is excellent all around.
I believe that the apricot puree that other's talked about in the sweet potato and chicken dinner is there to maintain the color of the food. I make my own sweet potato and chicken dinner for my little one and it turns brown. My baby doesn't care about the color of the food but I'm sure maybe a mom would freak out if she saw this color in a baby food jar - knowing how vibrant sweet potatoes are.
Half of the jars in my case were popped up. I wrote amazon and at first they offered me not even the cost of the damaged jars. I called and they replaced the entire case free of charge. This had to have happened at the manufacturing plant and didn't occur during shipping but rather was a sealing issue. I was impressed with the speed and efficiency at which amazon handled this. Will continue to be a loyal customer because of this. Customer service goes a long ways!

Earth's Best is the BEST Feb 09, 2009
By K. Piper-Fangman
We love the Earth's Best line in our house. Our 9 mo old daughter will ONLY eat Earth's Best dinners, and I don't blame her. The smell from both of the other 2 brand was nauseating. I've sampled the Earth's best dinners myself, and they aren't half bad... It is baby food.... The fruit blends and veggie blends are great as well.
