Posted May 17, 2005: Children have
a new choice when it comes to eating their vegetables—ice
cream. Fresh Daisy, a UK-based organic frozen baby food
company, is introducing a line of vegetable ice creams
and frozen yogurts. Recipe creator and Fresh Daisy co-owner,
Bruce Hudson, hopes a familiar treat, bright colors
and tantalizing flavors such as pea, carrots and orange,
and parsnip and pear will win over fussy eaters.
"When babies get to one-year-old they are not
prepared to try any thing new. Parents need to get them
on vegetables early. We thought of introducing the more
difficult things like broccoli and cabbage into ice-cream.,”
Hudson was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying, “If
you say to children it's purple or green ice-cream it's
easier to get them to eat it than straight forward cabbage
or broccoli."
According to company reps initial tests have been positive
and at least one mom is confirming success with the
pea, parsnip and pear, and carrot and orange but the
verdict is still out on the cabbage. “It’s
a great color for an ice cream, but it’s a strong
taste,” she is quoted as saying.
