To better understand what children really thought about healthy eating and what ‘superfood’ means to them, Bakers Delight enlisted the help of discerning critics aged 6-10 years old, for a truly honest opinion.

Whilst many of the kids thought a superfood was a fruit or vegetable adorning a cape with big muscles, when it came to chia, several claimed to know what it was and said they didn’t like it – until the taste test – shocking their parents who claimed their kids were the fussiest of eaters.

Says Nikki Price, marketing manager, CAM2647 Social Squares12 (1).jpgBakers Delight: “The common perception, and often a reality for many parents, is that it’s really hard to get their kids to eat healthily. We wanted to create a product that was healthy yet tasty so both parents and their children would benefit.

“The fruit buns, which are packed with chia seeds, dates and raisins, and have no added sugar, are a big hit with parents as they offer a healthy alternative to common lunchbox snacks and after school treats such as biscuits or slices.”

Bakers Delight sources its chia seeds from WA-based The Chia CAM2685 Carosel Post_0003_2 of 5 (1).jpgCo. For the in-store marketing efforts, the Chia Co produced in-store recipe booklets available for a limited time only. The marketing campaign is supported by in-store displays including vivid orange posters with graphic novel style typeface to support the superhero elements, as well as video production, social media amplification and traditional media relations.
