Pepita was born in our kitchen on a Tuesday night with a curious little eater and a mom who just wanted mealtime to feel easier.
Our Story
I wanted my daughter to explore flavor, enjoy real food, and build confidence at the table — but every seasoning on the shelf was either too salty, too spicy, or full of things I didn’t want to give her. So I started mixing my own. Simple spices, gentle flavor, nothing to second-guess. It made our meals feel lighter and less stressful, and it helped her get excited to eat. And somewhere between the highchair, the grocery aisle, and the kitchen counter, I realized this wasn’t just my problem. Every parent I talked to was feeling the same way. Pepita is the answer I wish I had from day one.
Made for the highchair crowd
We created four blends made to cover just about anything you’re feeding your baby — from veggies and proteins to breakfast and snacks.
