Reviews

Kashi "Clever" - a great assistant for young mothers. After all, it takes a minimum of time to prepare such a healthy dish, and the result is as positive as possible.
Many children refuse to eat cereal, so parents have to literally shove them into their favorite child. Of course, this process is accompanied by tears, screams and disappointment of the adults themselves. With “Umnitsa” cereals, such problems usually do not arise, they are devoid of freshness, have a pleasant aroma and a mild vanilla-sweet taste. The feeding process brings joy not only to parents, but also to the babies themselves.
High quality is also appreciated by skeptic consumers, that is, parents who usually prefer Western popular brands (for example, Heinz, Nestle). In their opinion, the domestic product is in no way inferior to its Western counterparts and even slightly exceeds their taste variety. Undoubtedly, the affordable price is also pleasing.
The only negative point is the possible individual intolerance of fruit and vegetable components in cereals. That is why the manufacturer himself recommends consulting a pediatrician before buying this or that type of product.
