Meet Eden’s Bloom Weaning Expert and Nutritionist, Zenia

Hi Everyone, Zenia here – Eden’s Bloom and I are really excited about this new chapter together. Joining the team as a Weaning Expert with a background in Nutrition, Food Science, and Sensory Science, I am incredibly passionate about spreading my knowledge when it comes to ‘food’ as a whole. Together, we want to remove all your weaning worries and offer you a space where you have the support and advice to ensure you’re using this very sensitive learning period of introducing solids as an opportunity to paint the best possible picture for your little one and build a strong foundation for your child’s future and overall wellbeing. You have the power to mould your child’s future palate and ultimately their happiness.

Monthly Live Sessions and Support

We will host monthly Lives, Q&A sessions, and Instagram takeovers to give you regular opportunities to reach out for support. We all need a bit of recipe and meal inspiration, so I will also be sharing tips and tricks in the kitchen on how we can create future foodies and adventurous eaters.

My Collaboration with Eden’s Bloom

As a busy mum of two running my own business within the baby sector, I am very particular about the brands I collaborate with. The support and services I provide are backed by science with my expertise as a Nutritionist, Food Scientist, and Sensory Scientist. As parents and caregivers, we have the most important job in the world – ensuring we are doing our very best for our little ones in every aspect of their life. Nutrition is life’s basic foundation and is directly related to overall wellbeing. To put things into perspective, have you ever heard of ‘The First 1000 days’? - This is the time between a woman’s pregnancy and her child’s second birthday. It is a critical window of opportunity to shape a child’s development. Good and wholesome nutrition during early childhood plays a pivotal role in enabling growth and helping your child thrive. During the first 1000 days, the brain grows more rapidly than at any other time in a person’s life, and a child needs the right nutrients at the right time to feed this intense and fast development.

I feel fortunate to have this knowledge and am always consistent with teaching individuals about the importance of not just nutrition but also flavour and texture as these ultimately lead to a person’s overall food/meal experience and wellbeing.

Why I personally love Eden’s Bloom

Over the years, it has been somewhat challenging to find a company that has managed to create a product on the market that encompasses what I call my three pillars of a balanced plate: Nutrition, Flavour, and Texture all in one. Eden’s Bloom has developed exactly that, which emphasises my love and passion for this brand on a personal level.

Nutrition

  • Eden's Bloom uses superfood ingredients like baobab and moringa, which are fantastic for children. Baobab is rich in vitamin C, calcium, and potassium, supporting immune health and bone development. Moringa has a high vitamin and mineral content, promoting overall wellbeing and growth. The freeze-drying process preserves up to 90% of the nutritional value compared to other traditional methods, ensuring that each meal is packed with essential nutrients and is a nutritional powerhouse for your little one.

Flavour

  • Each combination of Eden's Bloom is crafted to deliver identifiable flavours, herbs, and spices. When you taste a spoonful, you can actually distinguish each ingredient, which I absolutely love. The classic combinations, like Chilli Con Carne and Thai Green Curry, are reflective of the hearty ingredients typically found in these dishes, ensuring a rich and varied palate experience for your baby from the beginning.

Texture

  • Eden's Bloom includes ingredients like puffed millet and quinoa, which help little ones progress with texture, supporting oral development and future speech development as well as encouraging healthy eating habits and sensory development.

Eden’s Bloom's Unique Benefits 

I love the ease and time-saving element of Eden's Bloom with its fuss-free preparation. It's incredibly versatile, allowing me to use it in different ways, and is suitable for children 12 months and beyond. My 4-year-old son thoroughly enjoys these too, calling them ‘magic powders’ and wanting me to incorporate them into his daily meals. This flexibility during mealtimes is especially helpful during busy mornings when I can give both my children a quick and nourishing breakfast. For example, I enhance their daily nutritional intake by adding Strawberry, Apple, and Beetroot to porridge or stirring Apple, Banana, and Moringa through full-fat Greek yogurt. As a family, we’ve all been dipping into the stash, and I’ve enjoyed using them as a quick snack to help maintain my energy during the day.

Eden's Bloom truly offers a nutritious, delicious, and convenient option for busy parents who ultimately want the best start for their little ones. Each bite provides a balanced and flavourful experience, ensuring your little one enjoys every mouthful. Easy to rehydrate and packed with essential nutrients, Eden’s Bloom is a convenient and healthy choice for your baby's mealtime. The freeze-drying process preserves the natural flavours and aromas of the ingredients, offering a rich and enjoyable sensory experience, key for developing a baby’s palate and encouraging a positive relationship with a variety of foods. Each powerful packet is lightweight, portable, and has a long shelf life, making it a convenient option for traveling or on-the-go. Compared to other products, the absence of moisture in these freeze-dried products also reduces the risk of bacterial growth, ensuring a safer food option for infants and children.

Scientific Rigor and Commitment

Eden’s Bloom prioritizes scientific rigor and is committed to quality, safety, and innovation in freeze-dried baby food production, reflecting our dedication to advancing infant nutrition. By aligning with this brand, we can confidently support and recommend products that meet the highest standards of nutritional quality, safety, and sensory enjoyment, ensuring the best start for our little ones.

Encouraging Healthy Eating Habits

Eden’s Bloom offers a variety of meals that introduce your baby to the world of flavours from different cuisines at a young age. Each packet is a nutritional powerhouse, extending to fuel adult nutrition too, making it food for the whole family. Introducing diverse flavours at an early age encourages a willingness to try new foods as your baby grows. The combination of sweet and earthy tastes helps expand your baby's palate, fostering a love for healthy foods.

Positive Mealtime Experience

The smooth texture rehydrates easily, making it gentle on your baby’s developing digestive system and easy to swallow, reducing the risk of choking. Additionally, the vibrant colours and natural aromas make mealtime appealing and enjoyable, fostering a positive eating experience.

Make mealtime fun and exciting while helping your child develop a lifelong appreciation for nutritious eating with Eden’s Bloom. Ideal for developing palates, these blends ensure a positive mealtime for your little one, encouraging them to explore new flavours right from the get-go.
