Meet Malin – the Founder of GroGro
After having her first child, Malin faced the challenge that most new mums experience. She wanted the best food for her daughter but was often in situations where she couldn’t prepare food at home and had to deal with the guilt of resorting to packaged baby food.
The birth of GroGro®
GroGro is born out of a frustration with a lack of healthy, organic, additive free babyfood...
After having two kids, published a baby food book and having multiple courses for parents on how to cook your own baby food, the realisation came to Malin (Nutritionist). What everyone wanted and needed was a fresh, high quality baby food, ready to serve.
