1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

I thought they were a good idea especially for kids that dont like veg, I liked the fact there were a few veg mixed together so not just one bland taste, I tried them myself and thought they were tasty but im not one to add lots of seasoning to my veg so love the plain taste.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

Food that is quick to prepare & know my children will eat/like it.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

My 3 have there own fav veg and I try to get them to try different varieties, These helped with that as they usually wont eat butternut squash but liked the nugs mixed with corn as well.
They tried all 4 different varieties but the pea and lemon ones were pretty tasteless to be honest.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

We have the occasional pizza and chicken nuggets some frozen veg like sweetcorn & peas.
The kids liked that the veg came in nuggets bit of a novelty I think but they did eat them.
The mix of veg is a bit more adventurous than others on the market and I would by some of the varieties again as they went down well here.

[thindes78]

1. Quick and easy to cook, a good way to get fussy kids to include veg in their diet.
   
2. A great different way to incorporate vegetables into their meals, overall simple and effective.
   
3. My Little ones are fussy eaters and Little Roots enabled me to introduce veg into their diets in a positive way.
   

1. My frozen foods are for convenience, and maybe not the most healthy options, I pick what I know my kids will eat. Thus, Little Roots would be a positive step in the right direction in regards to adding to my freezer.

[kateandme]

[WarmHugs]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

I wasn’t sure if my DC would even attempt to eat them, but they did, and they loved them. I added them to my meal too, and I have to say I loved them as well!

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

I usually go for food that doesn’t look like vegetables, as my oldest is a veg refuser. These definitely fit the bill!

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

My oldest DC usually has to be bribed to eat vegetables, but she happily ate these.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option? Frozen food is usually things like chicken nuggets, so these were way more adventurous. I was surprised at how much both my DC loved them!

[MrsBobcat]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?

I really liked the idea of putting lots of veg into a snack form, the product and packaging looked natural and healthier than the usual frozen foods. They cooked quickly and did not dry out like most frozen snack food. Trying to make lots of veg more appealing to fussy eaters is a good idea.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?

It depends, I will try on the whole to do home made food that I can batch cook freeze and then add veg to. But there are also days when I need quick meals - it is hard to get non carb related quick meals so the idea of trying to put veg into these meals in this form is a great idea.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?

Mine will eat certain vegetables and refuse others. I would like them to eat more. Whilst I really liked the Little Roots, both of mine were not keen, they didn't like the fact you had whole bits of sweet corn. The one they said they would eat again at a push was the sweet potato, the others they just refused. I would eat all of them, but the sweet potato was the one with the most flavor.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?

Quick dinners tend to be potato waffles and scrabbled egg or fish fingers. I can always get my kids to eat these. Little roots are more adventurous, but they were not a winner with the kids. I will try some of the other products in the range to see if they will try different more adventurous vegetables this way.

[Nataliej2312]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them? We managed to try all three varieties of the Little Roots range, my girls loved the crunchyness of the outside and the sweetness of the insides (the crunchy corn and the butternut squash) Overall thought they were handy to have as a healthy snack or to add to a child’s dinner/lunch but for the amount you get in the box and the size they were slightly pricey.
   

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

I look for easy and quick but healthy option particularly in things I can cook when I’m doing something completely different/spicy for me and husband. On paper these are perfect for the occasion.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

My nephew doesn’t like eating vegetables at all, he tried and surprisingly ate and loved two out of the three available options.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option? Yes definitely more adventurous but clearly a lot more expensive. I normally feed my children fish fingers and occasionally chicken nuggets

[tackyprincess]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

As an parent I really liked the healthy side of these. They look like nuggets so thought I might be able to get extra veggies in them but my two didn’t really like them. They love both peas and sweet corn but didn’t like them in this form.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

Yes. I always look for the healthier options for my children.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

My two are usually really good at eating vegetables but I thought this could be a good way to get extra into them.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

They eat frozen fish and chicken as well as some frozen vegetables. I thought that Little Roots would appeal to them as they look very child friendly and more ‘exciting’ than other options such as veggie burgers or bites. I wouldn’t describe them as an adventurous option either. They are kind of the same as all other things aimed at children.

[ponygirlcurtis]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
I wasn't wildly keen on the box packaging. Seems a bit adult-orientated I think. My first thought on opening the package was that the box was far too big for the amount of food in it. I can understand not wanting to make the package smaller because at £3 (!) a box, if it was smaller you would think you were getting many (you are not). But the box being too big meant there was lots of room for the bites to move around inside and knock off their crumb coating. I had to open it and fold it down just to get it in the freezer.
Taste-wise, my son didn't like them at all, not even with ketchup on them. I tried all three as well - the sweet potato and the corn were both pleasant enough but not massively flavourful. The pea one was my outright favourite.
Price wise, I don't know that even if my son was keen on them I would justify the price of £3 for 12 or so little bites.

2. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
My kids are both very fussy eaters. I don't have a lot of criteria beyond 'if my kids will both eat it, I will buy it'. My son didn't like the Little Roots stuff so no, they haven't fulfilled that.

3. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
My kids don't eat much in the way of veg and I was hopeful that these might be a good solution. I am disappointed that they weren't liked.

4. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
I put most stuff in the freezer, from bread to meat, to milk. But I am guessing you mean like chicken nuggets, waffles etc? I am not sure what this means, how do they compare. The only comparison I can make is - they wouldn't eat the the Little Roots frozen stuff, but they will eat nuggets and waffles, etc.

[InspectorAlleyn]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

I liked how convenient they were and we all loved the flavour of all three different nuggets (I loved the pea and lemon, 2 of the DC preferred the corn ones and another the butternut squash version). I also like the fact that they are vegan as that suits my lifestyle.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

As I don’t eat meat, the children only eat meat rarely, so I am very aware of the need to make sure that we all get a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and pulses. I am also happy when I find convenience foods that are quick and healthy as we are often busy with the children’s activities and I don’t always have time to cook but feel guilty if I serve a “beige” meal!

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

Luckily, they all eat a range of veg, but it was great to find another way of serving vegetables (and not having to peel and chop was a huge bonus)!

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

They do eat chicken nuggets on occasion and also like oven chips and waffles. I definitely like these much better and will certainly be buying them again (especially the pea and lemon ones ).

[Beach11]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them? I love the idea of them and that they a healthier product. However, they weren’t well received in our house. The dc and I tried all 3 flavours but we didn’t like any of them. The dc complained that the fillings were too mushy like baby food, which I agree with and thought that all 3 flavours lacked flavour in general.
   
2. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Healthier choice with reduced salt, fat and sugar. Contain natural ingredients and sugars.
   

Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you? They met the health choice requirements but not the taste factor.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Luckily not but always looking at ways to make vegetables in meals in different ways.
   

Do you think Little Roots helped with this? Yes, if you like the product. But consider a box expensive compared to buying the vegetables.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? Vegetables, fruit, fish portions and sometimes more processed such as: chicken nuggets, fish fingers & ice creams
   

How do Little Roots compare? A disadvantage to is as the dc wouldn’t eat them but do eat frozen vegetables.
Would you consider them a more adventurous option? No, I would say they are more suited to 11-18months due to the mushy baby food like texture.

Thank you for the opportunity but unfortunately not for us

[Cuckoolu]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

For me a little bit plain & heavy on the breadcrumbs but the kids liked them.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

Healthy, vegan & quick to prepare - so yes fairly fulfilled.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

No my kids love veg

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

Frozen food if it’s veggie burgers/sausages little roots a bit more nuggety but felt like a treat for them.

[slithytoveisascientist]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

I thought they were very overpriced for the quantity you get. I liked the concept and the packaging, however my 5 year old wasn’t keen. She doesn’t really eat pre-prepped frozen food barring peas or fish fingers so it may have just been too big a departure from the norm for her, but she didn’t like the flavours. We tried the sweet potato nuggets and the corn/carrot chunks.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

I look for healthy food which is easy to prepare, that they enjoy and can be part of preparing. In theory this ticked 3 of those boxes however the preparation element is minimal.
Good for me but not what appeals to my kids.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

No and no. Maybe these are a better product for children who don’t like veg.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

Definitely more adventurous and more expensive! I would say that because they are more aimed at children I’m less likely to buy them. Other frozen products I buy such as peas and fishfingers appeal to the whole family. Other frozen products I buy include chopped raw veg, ice cream and berries.

[mumsbe]

. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
I really liked that they look like nuggart s as my son is autistic and loves chicken nuggart s so at least I could get him to try them. the flavours were great

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?

quality taste and good for the kids so yes it did.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?

yes I said my son is autistic so putting the veg in a nuggart is a great idea.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?

I give the kids fish fingers and chicken nuggart s that's frozen. the little roots were great combinations and something different for the kids. yes I would defiantly try any other combinations and I really liked them all.

[bertdynamite]

1. The whole family was pleasantly surprised by how nice these tasted. We tried all the flavours and they were much nicer than we'd imagined. The pea and lemon ones were a little disappointing as we couldn't taste any lemon.

1. I try to choose things that appear healthy. I liked the fact that there was no added salt and the fact that they were vegetarian.

1. The family is pretty good about eating vegetables, but it's always good to get more info a meal.

1. My daughter, who is vegetarian, will have something from the freezer when we are having a roast etc. Normally she would have something like a veggie burger, vegetarian sausages etc and I think the little bites will be a good alternative occasionally. I don't think they seem adventurous to someone who normally eats veggie burgers.

[duggerlugs]

1.What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
I liked the concept of them to try and introduce different vegetables into my daughter's diet and something for a quick night dinner or lunch.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

I liked the idea of multiple veg in a nugget as an alternative to chicken or potato.
Yes Little Roots fulfilled the concept but my little girl wasn't so keen on taste. I didnt mind them but wouldn't purchase for myself.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this? My daughter doesn't like bits that are different in good...ie she would stop eating something when a pea is in fishcake yet would eat plain fishcake and peas separately. She likes certain veg and won't entertain broccoli. Unfortunately the veg in these is what she eats already so this just gives variety of choice.
   
2. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

She will eat waffles, nuggets, chips? Fishfingers and fishcakes if we do have frozen food. I'd say they are on a par with what's available except for the pea ones. Supermarkets have food now with hidden veg in so for the price little roots would be too expensive for little gain for our family in terms of enjoyment and additional veg. I guess there are families it will suit better.

[FancifulFeathers]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

First we tried the pea and lemon, we weren’t fans of this one, I think more than anything, the colour was off putting for the children. We all loved the other 2 flavours and found them great as part of a meal or a snack.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

I like items that don’t take long to cook for lunch or evening meal. My youngest likes to hold his food so these were perfect.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

My children most definitely don’t eat enough vegetables most days so Little Roots would be a great easy way of getting veg in. Not every day is a day to blitz a ton of veg to sneak into meals and Little Roots would provide that convenience!

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

They eat a lot of chicken nuggets, fish fingers, and I would love to swap some of those meals for Little Roots. I wouldn’t call it adventurous but most definitely widens the options at meal times, I’d buy them again!

[BristolMum96]

@mnhq I have emailed 4 times now regarding this product test and no replies to update me on my problem and query.

[Hk24498]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?

I thought all three flavours were delicious! My little boy thought they were okay. And did eat them except the pea ones - I think he was confused by the green colour inside what he thought was a nugget!

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?

Convienent and healthy are the main things. The product did fulfil this to a certain extent in that they were a way to get some veg into my fussy child, but I don't think they are the most healthy option as the outer crumb felt a bit greasy.They are very quick and convenient though.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?

Yes, he is hit and miss with veg, and they did help- he thought they were nuggets! He did enjoy the sweetcorn and the sweet potato ones but the pea ones not so much.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?

A mix of home made foods like bolognese and chilli with veg, and then dinners like nuggets and fish fingers when I need something quick and easy. I think I would use them as a side dish and I would also have them myself! However, I wouldn't buy them again at the £3 per box price- it would be way too expensive for me. At £1.50 a box I would ddefinitely but them regularly. I would say the branding is slightly off if they are going to be aimed at children - it was tough finding them, they were on the top shelf in the freezer section in the vegetarian section. I think a lot of vegetarians would buy them (I was a vegi for 20 years so think I can say that!), but not sure you would look at them if you were looking for something specifically for your child, or something for the whole family. I think if the idea is to aim them at the while family they should be in the vegtable section and the box clearly showing that they are to be enjoyed by everyone, including toddlers, maybe clearer that they are low salt (are they?!) as that is something I like to see on a packet if I am looking for something for my child. The boxes did look lovely though!

Thank you for letting us test this product- it was fun!

[sharond101]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them? I liked the packaging and the claims of being healthy and natural.The flavours sounded nice and they looked appealing to evenfussy children.
2. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you? I look for natural foods as far as possible with added fruit and or vegetables. I want low sugar and something appetising. These criteria were met.
3. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this? My kids are fussy with vegetables. They would have baked beans with every meal but moan about most others. They tolerated Little Roots but said they didn't like the taste so much after eating 2 and didn't want anymore. I think the nugget novelty had worn off.They particularly disliked the pea variety! I tasted them and found them rather cardboard like, bland and a funny texture.
4. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option? We normally cook from scratch and freeze however a cheat night would be chicken nuggets and chips. Sadly they would prefer chicken nuggets to Little Roots and I don't believe they would be keen to eat them again.

[racheltravel17]

Thanks so much for the opportunity to try these products - loving the photos, and wish I’d remembered to take photos before my kids ate them all!

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

Really liked the products - good variety of flavours that were a bit unusual, plus they looked super tasty.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

For my children, I look for a variety of products including different ingredients and textures so these really suit. Yes, I think this was fulfilled.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

No, I’m lucky that my children LOVE all kinds of vegetables both fresh and mixed with other things. These products were great for my children as snacks as well as a little lunch snack.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

I would consider them as an adventurous option as they have unusual flavours. I think Little Roots is a great brand and gives a great variety for all families.

[itsme]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them? The pea and lemon ones were tasty, as were the sweet potato and butternut squash ones but the sweet corn and carrot ones weren't as nice.
2. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you? I like variety so she is getting something different, these offer a good product as an alternative to meat or fish.
3. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this? No challenges with my 7yo
4. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option? Usually we get fish fingers, chicken nuggets etc. The little roots I feel are a healthy alternative.

[Chicinwellies]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?

I liked the idea of these and the girls were keen to try. They liked the pea and mint bites, with lemon squeezed on the top. I must admit I tried one and did find them extremely bland. The butternut versions were tasteless.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?

I look for healthy, good quality ingredients that ultimately taste nice. The girls were ambivalent to them, but I thought they were nutritious and saved me some effort.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?

No, mine love veg.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?

These were an interesting alternative. We don't have a lot of frozen food unless Im defrosting batch cooking. Fish cakes are our main frozen go-to. Im not sure these are more adventurous.

[Stujobohm]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?
   

My husband and I enjoyed them but unfortunately my children didn’t.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
   

I like healthy options, these would have been great if my children enjoyed the taste.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
   

My children normally try different foods and agin these would have been great if they had liked the flavours.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
   

Mine normally eat frozen veg and sometimes we have frozen chips and chicken dippers, Birdseye.
They are more adventurous.

[AngelwingsPetlamb]

Thank you for the opportunity to try Little Roots products because it’s not a product we would normally purchase straight off, so it was great to try first.

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried?
   

I thought the products were good quality and well packaged.
They were an expensive way to eat vegetables but then again if kids are fussy you have to try everything you can.
We all found them a bit bland.

What did you like about them?
Cooked well, easy to serve, easy to control portion size, good quality products, good nutritional values.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children?
   

Unprocessed, smaller portions, flexibility to be used at differen5 meal times.

Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?
Yes

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables?
   

Yes - they won’t eat them full stop

Do you think Little Roots helped with this?
Kind of - the sweet potato ones went down the best, carrot and corn were nibbled at and pea ones were refused outright due to colour, smell and taste.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children?
   

Fishfingers, Mini pizza, oven chips, potato courgettes

How do Little Roots compare?
Little Roots are really great nutritionally and a very healthy option

Would you consider them a more adventurous option?
No not really, they are just a way of trying to get veg into fussy kids who can spot a vegetable a mile away !

[MotherOfCats]

1. What were your overall thoughts on the Little Roots products you tried? What did you like about them?

I liked the idea of a healthy nugget alternative but sadly my kids did not like the taste. They would eat the corn and carrot ones at a push, possibly a bit of the sweet potato ones and absolutely refused the pea ones.

1. Which qualities do or characteristics do you usually look for in food for your children? Do you think Little Roots fulfilled this for you?

I look for healthy, good quality ingredients that my children will enjoy. Sadly as my kids didn't like these at all, these products didnot fulfil my expectations.

1. Do you experience any challenges with getting your children to eat enough vegetables? Do you think Little Roots helped with this?

My kids generally eat veg pretty well bit didn't enjoy the taste of these nuggets. So no, these products didn't help.

1. What kind of frozen food do you usually feed your children? How do Little Roots compare? Would you consider them a more adventurous option?

We normally have chicken nuggets, peas, fish fingers, chips, mash, sweet potato chips. These nuggets are more unusual and adventurous, perhaps too much so as my children didn't want to eat them.
