Our mash is locally sourced and made with only human grade vegetables, cooked legumes, grains and sprouted healthy seeds. Mash is ideal for conversion from seed onto chop or vegetables. Once you have your birds transitioned onto mash, you can start to introduce chop into their diet. We recommend mixing in their seed mix with our mash either wet or dry.
Ingredients include sweet potato, pumpkin, cauliflower, zucchini, carrot, cooked quinoa, cooked green lentils and chia seeds.
Freeze drying retains up to 97% of the original nutritional value of the ingredients, it doesn't change the look or taste of food and has up to a 25 year shelf life if stored correctly.
DIRECTIONS
You can serve our mash dry or wet. For dry, mix powder into seed. For wet: add small amounts of water to mash powder until a mashed potato consistency is achieved. Mix and serve. Please note freeze dried chop will not expand dramatically after rehydration. We recommend feeding our chop first thing in the morning as this will be when your bird is the hungriest.
