We call it BABY CRACK…. My 8 mo. old simply LOVES this stuff! It was his 1st official “finger food” so I think it’s a combo of, “I can do it myself” plus it tastes good, and dissolves easy in the mouth- which is kind of important when you only have 6 teeth! Only other mom-comment here is that I wish they had a little MORE greens in it, as it’s not even close to green in color, like they just waved some greens over the bowl when making it. Someone ought to sell this stuff in a mixed case…we go thru about one container every few days.

Nutritional value is “meh,” but my kid loves these things Like the title of my review says, these little puffs aren’t much different from run-of-the-mill Cheerios in terms of their healthiness–though they are somewhat better–but our little man (15 months old as of this date) absolutely loves them. They are pretty unsubstantial, so he can snack away on them without fear of ruining his dinner appetite. Other things that I like: 1) They’re organic. I don’t know how many pesticide molecules are finding their way into a box of Cheerios, but my guess is not many! Still, I like that these are organic. Every little bit helps, right? 2) They dissolve very quickly so there’s never any fear of choking no matter how many he stuffs in at once. 3) The container is more convenient that a box of cereal. 4) Like I said before, my son really enjoys these.In terms of health value, I find them to be similar to Cheerios. If you adjust for the weight or volume differences, comparing the nutritional information shows that the Cheerios have more vitamins and fiber, but also more sugar and sodium. Though none of these amounts are really significant concerns to me. For example, a half cup of Cheerios has .7g of Sugar while the HB Puffs have 0.Now for the one negative–the real kicker–and the reason why I am giving this very good product just 4 stars. Purchasing these from Amazon (6-pack, as of July 20, 2011) will cost you about $1.47/ounce. Purchasing a 14oz box of Cheerios from Amazon on the other hand is just 21 cents/oz. The HB Organic puffs are 7X more expensive! (And of course, getting a 19lb box at Costco changes the equation further). But unless you’re giving your kid a ton of these, or you’re feeding multiple kids, the price difference probably isn’t a deal breaker.In conclusion, I’d try them both and see which your little sprout goes for. Can’t really go wrong in either case.
