Seeds of Change Korma sauce? Okay as basis for meal for one year old?

[terrystyg]

Anybody tried it?

All cook in sauces are industrial slurry.
I wouldn't give one to a one year old or an eighty year old.

Make yer own-takes two minutes.

that's rubbish MD
they are not all industrial sully, that's what goes in saveloys.

Companies who make cook in sauces are not, in point of fact, in league with Belzeebub.

(Btw your talk of Twisties packets in your car gave me Proustian flashbacks.Yay for twisties!!!)

you know enough about cookery to know that although they are mass produced they are made to the same standards of home cooking, and that heat sterilisation of the jar takes the place of additives. Come, come now Madame, off that high horse.

DH and I eat it when we are too knackered to cook Proper Food.
Doesn't taste bad, and doesn't contain quite as much crap as Chicken Tonight etc - no fillers, no MSG, no E nos.
Don't kid yourself it's healthy because it's organic though, it's still processed pap.

Titter, did you get those in the air-drops in PNG? Were you a Cargo Cultist?

I never let ds2 have Twisties, they are uber salty

I prefer to use a korma curry paste and coconut milk. I figure a few tablespoons of curry paste (Sherwoods and Pataks seem to only contain spices and other things I recognise as food) is better than a jar of sauce, iyswim.

ah, but far, far higher in fat, and saturated fat at that from the coconut.

(although I have to say NQC the ingredients of the Seeds of Change stuff surprised me - they are all recognisable as food - here )

nrearly didn't post my question cos I knew someone would get on their high horse!!!! I'm not concerned about the standard of the ingredients especially as it's an organic sauce, more whether a one year old's digestive system would be able to cope with the spices??? Unfortunately I ummed and aahed too long in tesco's and didn't buy it in the end so can't list the ingredients here.

Oh right thanx mrsbadger!

oh def yes re 1yo and spices - it's very mild.

Those ingredients look postitive angelic, however, I would be a tad concerned that cream is the second ingredient and I presume that is according to quantity.

i would be really worried about the salt content etc

concerned re cream for us adult fatties yes, but shouldn't bother a 1yo a jot...

Agree Pataks is fine - mix with yoghurt if it's too spicy for your dc.

I can't stop thinking about it now. I would like to eat it cold from the fridge and then spooned on top of granary bread.

My kids love the SoC sauces. I don't buy stuff if there are any ingrediants that i wouldn't add to a home-made sauce, but SoC ingredients are all normal things.

They have been eating them since they were a year old with no nasty tummy aches etc.

yeah I suppose the salt is a worry espec as you can't actually tell how much salt exactly is in it. Wouldn't give it to him very often tho.

Thanx Millarkie, very reassuring.

I don't really worry about saturated fat. I guess that's partly because I have to cook vegetarian for a gang of toddlers these days, and it will soon be vegan, at which point I will have them mainlining coconut milk, probably.

0.4g of sodium per 100g sauce. I'm not sure how that converts to salt content and don't know what salt recommendations for 1 year olds are (it's 6g a day for adults).
My feeling is that they don't have processed foods most days, and that life's too short to be overly stressed about one meal every now and then.
My kids are veggies too NQC

Oh, no my toddler isn't veggie. But he goes to a childcare co-op, where parents help and cook and all that, and the co-op is veggie. We have some allergic kids, so lots of days are vegan, too.

It will be fine. Good for him in fact.
