A very quick post today with further updates on Holle organic baby food in jars.
As we mentioned in a previous article towards the end of April, the certified biodynamic chicken in the popular Holle Organic Pumpkin and Chicken jars is currently almost impossible to source on the continent and we are currently out of stock.
Unfortunately, our remaining stock of our Organic Meat Baby Weaning Lunches (3x Organic Pumpkin and Chicken and 3 x Potatoes, Corn and Beef) is now also depleted. We apologise to all those mums and dads who have contacted us asking for their baby’s favourite meat weaning recipes – Holle are not currently able to give us a delivery date as they are not yet able to source the chicken to the high quality that they demand for their baby foods. We will keep you posted as we hear news.
In the meantime, as you will see from yesterday’s blog post, Holle have released their Finest Organic Beef baby jars. These particular baby jars have a very high meat content and are intended to be used as an accompaniment to a vegetable or grain based meal, not as a meal in itself. You only need to use half a jar at a time, making them excellent value for money.
Holle have today told me that they intend to release a similarly high meat content turkey jar as an additional meat accompaniment, for those parents wanting to introduce high quality organic meat into their baby’s weaning diet. As always, we will keep you posted.
What organic baby weaning recipes would you like to see Holle include in their jarred range? Let us know and we’ll pass it on.

Holle have recently introduced two new organic baby food jars to their ever increasing range of simple, wholesome and natural recipes. Ulula is please to be the exclusive UK supplier for these new baby jars and our initial taste tests amongst family and friends show they deserve to be real weaning winners.
Holle Organic Finest Beef
Holle organic beef meat baby jar
The Holle Organic Finest Beef baby jars are not intended to be a complete meal in itself, but rather are to be used as a meat accompaniment to your homemade baby weaning recipes or to mix into a jar of one of Holle’s great pureed vegetable baby jars and/or one of their organic baby porridges. Please only use half a jar for a single meal – you can safely store the other half for the next day in the fridge (below 5°) – making these meat jars excellent value for money.
The organic beef used in these jars is of premium Swiss origin and is from cows that have been raised in pastures that have been organically cultivated for decades. Holle has close relationships with its farmers and will only work with those whose high quality standards meet their demanding expectations and that rear their animals in the most humane and natural way.
Holle Pumpkin With Rice
These lovely jars were firm favourites with our testers whose babies loved the mild pumpkin flavour of this recipe – one mum even placed an order for three cases before her daughter had finshed the meal!
The Holle Organic Pumpkin and Rice is ideal if, as can sometimes happen, your baby has developed a tendency to constipation after introducing root vegetables like carrots – switching to pumpkin as a weaning vegetable for your baby is usually then recommended.

It’s a bank holiday today so just a quick post with a lovely recipe tip sent in by customer Janice M.
Have leftover fruit purees from weaning your baby? Blend fruit purees with yoghurt (or coconut milk), water (or juice) and ice to make smoothies for the rest of the family.
We’ve tried this using purees made with the Ulula glass grater as well as some of the Holle organic fruit baby jars and they are lovely. Perfect for this warm weather. Enjoy!

A quick, fun post today. Regular reader of Sabine’s Organic Baby Food Blog will know that I am passionate about re-using and recycling materials. And of course, all customers will see that I always try to recycle packing materials when Ulula sends out orders.
I am always curious as to just how much of what we send out goes on to be recycled once finished with. For example, do customers recycle the packaging that our baby foods come in? I recently came across the amazing picture below showing just how inventive people can be when it comes to recycling baby food jars. Yes, it really is a chandelier made with baby food jars! Apparently it is practically all made from recycled materials and cost just a few pounds to make.

Of course not everyone, myself included, is creative enough or has the skills, materials or even inclination to make a chandelier from baby food jars!
I have, though, come across some other, more down to earth, suggestions. How about using the baby food jars as containers for dried herbs in the kitchen? Or as paint pots for older children?
Do you just put your empty organic baby food jars in the recycle bin, or are you a little more creative with them? Share your thoughts and ideas.
PS. If any reader is really curious how to make a baby food jar chandelier, get in touch and I’ll let you have the instructions.

Special announcement for those with babies who like the meat-based baby food in jars. The certified biodynamic chicken in the ever popular Holle Organic Pumpkin and Chicken jars is currently almost impossible to source on the continent.
As a result, the Holle Organic Pumpkin and Chicken jars are (in extremely short supply) no longer available. We do still have a few of our Organic Meat Baby Weaning Lunches (3x Organic Pumpkin and Chicken and 3 x Potatoes, Corn and Beef) left but once they are gone we will sadly have to remove them from the store. For all your beef loving babies we do have a plentiful supply of the Holle Organic Potatoes, Corn and Beef.
Holle sources tell us that they are working closely with the biodynamic farmers from whom they source their chickens and will let us know as soon as the Organic Pumpkin and Chicken baby jars production restarts.

Holle's new organic pure apple - perfect by itself or stirred into baby porridge
We are pleased to let you know that we now stock Holle’s latest additions to their comprehensive range of jarred organic baby food. They are:
In the interests of keeping our customers informed, the Ulula team as well as our family and friends always taste test any new products that we stock and these new baby jars were no exception. As usual the finely pureed texture is just right for even newly weaning babies, and ensures the baby food is easily digestible.
All the jars taste superb – this is due not only to the fact that the raw fruits and vegetables used in the jars were organically, if not biodynamically grown, but also to the very gentle cooking methods that Holle uniquely use in making all their organic baby foods.
See our complete range of organic baby food in jars.
We think these new baby jars are a lovely addition to our baby food range – give them a try and let us know what you think.
