Appearance:
Heinz - Yellow with a tinge of brown. Looks like corn
Thrive - Definitely yellow....definitely corn.
Ingredients:
Heinz - corn, water, rice... rice? Why is there rice in this product? The label says "creamed corn", not "creamed corn with rice"....that's weird.
Thrive - freeze dried sweet corn, water
% of nutrients intact:
Heinz - completely unknown...
Thrive - guaranteed to have at least 96% of original nutrients as all produce is picked when it it ripe, cleaned/sliced/flash frozen within 4 hours of being picked, then freeze dried to lock in nutrients.
Packaging:
Heinz has a glass jar (which is good) but a lid that has a BPA lining (BPA would leach into the food)
Thrive cans are coated with food grade enamel
Source of vegetables:
Heinz - completely unknown
Thrive - grown in USA, certified gluten free, non GMO, no allergens
Shelf Life:
Heinz - sealed shelf life of 2-3 years; opened shelf life of 1-2 days in the refrigerator
Thrive - sealed shelf life of 25 years; opened shelf life of 1 year in the pantry.
Taste:
Heinz - tastes like the cans of creamed corn that I used to eat as a kid many, many moons ago... I haven't eaten this in years, so I don't know if it tastes the same. Tastes good, though.
Thrive - OMG...so good! Tastes like freshly picked corn on the cob that you would eat right at the farm. Loving this!
Price:
I can't find a common denominator to convert serving sizes for these 2 competitors.... but here's what I paid for each....
Heinz - paid $0.85 yesterday
Thrive - Q price for a pantry can (with 15 servings of 1/4 cup per serving) is $8.09US. A #10 can (with 46 servings of 1/4 cup per serving) is $17.79US.
Even if you use the stated serving amount, you are saving tonnes of money.... pantry can cost per serving is $0.53US per serving, and a #10 can cost per serving is $0.39US per serving
Hope you have enjoyed my comparison! I would be more than happy to come to your house and show you how easy it is to make babyfood from Thrive. Just send me a msg and we can set up a date.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
to make babyfood out of Thrive freeze dried food:
1. put desired amount of dry freeze dried food/dehydrated food into a clean coffee grinder,
2. grind to desired powder consistency,
3. pour powder into serving bowl,
4. add warm, room temperature, or cold water to the powder, a teaspoon at a time, mixing as you go, until you achieve desired consistency
All Thrive fruits, vegetables, and meats can be made into babyfood following this same procedure. View all of the vegetables here:
