March is National Nutrition Month, a time to celebrate nourishing foods from all around the world. At Globowl, we believe in introducing little ones to diverse flavors early, fostering adventurous eating habits while providing the essential nutrients they need. That’s why we’re thrilled to highlight the global inspiration behind each of our six delicious recipes.
Every jar of Globowl baby food tells a story—one of culture, tradition, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Let’s take a journey to explore the origins of each recipe and the flavors that make them special.
Thailand – Pad Thai for Tots
Sweet and sour, with a baby-sized kick, Globowl’s Pad Thai for Tots hits all the right notes. Your little one will delight in silken tofu and lightly scrambled eggs, along with oodles of veggie and rice noodles tossed in a delectable, savory sauce (the same one us parents love).
Fun fact: while it may be THE quintessential Thai favorite, a significant portion of Pad Thai’s ingredients and the method of stir-frying the noodles are native to China.
Greece – Yaya’s Medi-Bowl
Yaya’s Medi-Bowl overflows with Mediterranean delights: spinach, chickpeas, roasted red pepper, tahini, and farro, stewed together in a savory vegetable broth sauce and topped with perfect baby-sized bits of feta. In true Greek fashion, Globowl celebrates the most cherished of Mediterranean ingredients - found in abundance in Greece and Italy: olive oil!
South and Central America – Bean Bowl
Inspired by the flavors of South and Central America, Globowl's Bean Bowl delights tots' tastebuds. This 'chili for children' blends good-for-you veggies like carrot, tomato, corn, zucchini, beans, red peppers, quinoa, and vegetable broth with Globowl's secret spice blend. Perfect for a chilly winter night, the Big Game, or any random Tuesday.
India – Veggie Tikka Masala
Tikka means an Indian dish of small pieces of vegetables or meat marinated in a spice mixture. Globowl's vegan Veggie Tikka Masala eagerly embraces the flavors of India and Asia with lentils, veggies, and basmati rice simmered in coconut, tomatoes, garam masala, turmeric, and ginger.
Fun fact: this veggie-forward delight was originally popularized by cooks from South Asia living in Great Britain.
Italy – Mini-Strone
There's something so comforting about a veggie-filled soup that's been simmering all day, lovingly tended to by a doting grandma. Our Mini-Strone is nostalgic for all the right reasons: it warms you up, tastes like Nonna's, and contains some of our favorite childhood ingredients: orzo (whole wheat), parmesan, basil, and tomatoes. It makes us wanna mangia!
Fun fact: Minestrone soup dates back to ancient Rome, where it was a popular dish among peasants who used whatever vegetables they had on hand to make a filling meal. Known as "poor man's soup," the word minestrone comes from the Latin word minestrare, which means "to distribute food at the table." But there's nothing poor about this meal: it is rich in flavor, vegetables, and deliziosa!
Korea – Bibimbap
Bibimbap is a staple in Korean cuisine. The term bibim means "mixing" and bap means "cooked rice." For us, that means rice mixed with a medley of healthy veggies like cabbage, mushrooms, spinach, red peppers, and ginger. Instead of the traditional runny egg found on top, ours is scrambled and laced throughout this very savory, slightly sweet, totally delicious dish.
Exploring the World, One Bite at a Time
Our "Around the World Variety Pack" is more than just a celebration of food—it’s an invitation to introduce babies to global flavors early, helping shape their palates and appreciation for diverse cuisines. Throughout March, we’ll be sharing more about each recipe, including its cultural background, key ingredients, and how families can incorporate these flavors into mealtime.
Join us in celebrating National Nutrition Month by giving your little one a taste of the world—one delicious, nourishing jar at a time!
