Heinz Farley\'s Rusks are and old favourite. I don\'t know anybody who has never had one. They\'ve been going for years. I have bought them for all my babies and since I started buying them again for my youngest (7 months) my eldest (5) and middle child (2) have decided he loves them,and my other half too, so the box doesn\'t last long.Personally I love the taste but no so keen on the texture. Rusks are really versitile and can be used in a number of ways; either on there own as a finger food, with milk or as dipper to dip in other stuff (yoghurt, etc), when baby gets older you can crush them and add to fruit purees . When I was young it wasn\'t unusual for a rusks to be put in baby\'s bottles but health visitors advise against that nowadays but I\'m not sure why. You\'ve got to hand it to Heinz considering Farley\'s Rusks are so old hey\'ve managed to keep the brand fresh and up to date and they now contain prebiotics (which help support baby\'s natural defences). They are packed full of good stuff but the original variety do contain quite a bit of sugar, I realise if it was tat bad they wouldn\'t be allowed to be sold as a baby food but I do worry about my little one developing a sweet tooth so try and buy the reduced sugar ones.

Packaging The rusk box is fairly basic on the front with the Heinz logo, a teddy and some rusks on but it\'s quite colourful too so you won\'t miss them on the shelves. The back and sides of the box are full of useful info about ingredients, nutritional values and serving suggestions. It also made from material that can be recycled. Inside the box the rusks are stacked and sealed in foil packaging to keep them fres, once opened you can just twist the foil and it seems to keep the freshness in.
Pack Size and Varieties Rusks come in pack sizes of 18 or 9. Apart from the original variety there are also reduced sugar, reduced sugar banana & reduced sugar gluten free. There are also Organic Biscotti (which are really yumy but that\'s a whole other review).
Price I picked up a pack of 18 at Asda last wek for £1.00 but now the offer is over they are £1.69.
Overall Although they aren't really great value for money I'd highly recommend these. Baby's love em! Infact the whole of the family will love em!
