Earth's Best Organic Melty Hoops, Bite-Sized Snacks for Babies 8 Months and Up, Spring Veggie, 0.32 Ounce Individual Bags (Pack of 4)

Convenient, tasty and cute . But it’s a lot in the bags so keep sandwich baggies to preserve them.

Earth’s Best Organic Melty Hoops are fun “o”-shaped snacks that I would describe as crunchy rather than “melty,” although I guess they dissolve when chewed. They are very light and airy. Although the package prominently says these are “Made with Quinoa,” quinoa is the next-to-last ingredient, with only rosemary extract as a preservative having a smaller quantity. The primary ingredient is…corn, of course, and to be fair, the package also says this in the lower left corner. Quinoa follows corn, sunflower oil and/or canola oil, mango powder (which includes banana), and strawberry powder, all organic.There appear to be two types of “o’s” with one having a sparse coating of powder with a noticeable strawberry flavor, and the others looking plain and not tasting much like mango, to me at least. But the purpose of these snacks isn’t only nutrition, but learning dexterity, and they mimic another popular kid’s snack which I know kids love to handle and eat, so these should be similarly entertaining. While I’m not sure trading oats for organic corn and quinoa is a good nutritional trade-off, I will say that these taste better to me (at least the strawberry ones do) and I would prefer these based on taste alone.

Here I am, a child-free grownup, reviewing baby food. Well, not gonna lie, I've always wondered what those tasty-looking snack puffs toddlers eat taste like. Well, these puffs in particular taste like very little. The ones that picked up the mango powder they're tossed in taste like mango - sweet and tart. The ones that didn't are completely bland. There's none of that bitter, earthy quinoa either, so there's that. The texture is like rice krispies, which is to say, they'd make darn good grownup snacks tossed with the right seasoning dust. How do I go about ordering these in Flamin' Doritos flavor?I gotta say, as someone who hates having food residue on my hand, if I had a baby, I wouldn't want them to pick up foods covered in powder with their hands and then touch everything else in the house. But I guess that ship would have long sailed by the time you had a baby…

I've always liked this brand for its organic options, and despite my kid's now being much older than a toddler, he was still pretty excited to try a new flavor. The Mangoes and Strawberry variety was a hit, and it's always good to see new products in this space.

We always buy this brand in the store. These are yummy and my toddler and older kids liked them. I like that it's organic and that is why I will buy this brand. However, I wish that the company would shift away from seed oils. It's what moms/parents who are health aware want for their kids. These are great for a quick snack when we need to go quickly, but they're still kept for emergencies because some ingredients could be better. Still, I recommend this brand!

It's light and airy, even lighter than cheerios, it’s also bland tasting, it needs more strawberry and mango flavors. It’s also not sweetened.

I got these for my 16-month-old who loves his snacks and it's a must during our trips out and about. He enjoyed the snacks and kept asking for more. I tried it beforehand and even though it's supposed to be strawberry and mango flavored, I barely tasted it (which is a plus for my kid since I don't like him eating too many sweet foods). It tasted almost like a plain flavored funyuns to me. I did take off a star because unfortunately most of the hoops were broken and crushed. Since the hoops are tiny to begin with, the broken small crumbs were hard for my son to pick up with his tiny fingers, so I had to help hand feed him the smaller pieces.

I think too many baby and toddler snacks are way too sweet and are just introducing them to sweet stuff that they will crave all their lives. These are definitely not sweet. They a good size for baby to grab, and the color is eye-catching, but not garish and fake looking. There is a slight mango taste, but mostly the taste is pretty neutral too. If you are looking for sweet, get fruity cold cereal. But if you are looking for a more healthy option, these are great and my grandson ate them one after one.
