From Kids Lunch Box Cards
Comment: Here's an article on Applesauce that's well worth reading.
Applesauce
Honestly, when I started this taste test I thought "How different could applesauce really taste?" Well, very different! Some are tart, some bland... chunky or smooth. I have new respect for choosing applesauce- even for cooking and baking. Though we tested many brands, I am sure you will come across many more- the ingredient list for the applesauce you plan to buy is: APPLES. Many brands we tested just had this one ingredient- some also had fruit juice concentrate, water and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). NOTHING ELSE. Our winners are: Trader Joe's single serving Organic Apple Sauce (kid friendly taste), Solana Gold Organic Apple Sauce (their ingredient is apples only- wow!), Trader Joe's Applesauce Crushers (whipped taste, kid-friendly FUN packaging) and Trader Joe's Big&Chunky Applesauce.
I prefer dolling out from the large jars into lunchboxes because I know I can recycle them. I rarely use the single serve, but if I do, I have the kids leave it in their lunchbox so I can make sure it goes into recycling.
Because there are so many varieties, this taste-test is for basic applesauce- no flavors or spices. Later in the year we will be testing spiced and fruit flavor apple sauces!
