Често задавани въпроси за FURISTO
If the child has already been introduced to all types of foods, they can start eating meals prepared from the family kitchen. The individual development of the child, their preferences, and the parents’ personal approach determine the appropriate age and type of children’s meals to use. What we emphasize is the rich variety of menus, which is key to the health and proper development of children.
With ZELENO, the food can be pureed, which is why it is suitable for children from 8 months of age who are not yet chewing.
FURISTO, VEGGIE, and BEZZ are meals intended for fully weaned children, which is why they are suitable from 10 months of age. In fact, we ourselves often eat some of them for lunch at the office.
The consistency of the food in terms of the size of the pieces is almost the same for both kitchens. We do not prepare mushy, soupy foods where the child cannot see what they are eating. On the contrary! The vegetables are diced, but smaller than adult food. The meat is also. Many dishes at FURISTO and ZELENO are suitable for children following the Baby-Led Weaning method, so many of the dishes are suitable for little hands to grab.
To ensure the safety and nutritional quality of the food, it is cooled immediately after preparation, travels to you in thermal containers, and is stored in the refrigerator until mealtime.
The dishes at ZELENO can be pureed, but the desserts (afternoon snacks) remain whole. They are often cookies and cannot be pureed. At FURISTO, the dishes are not pureed.
The food is delivered between 8:00 and 12:00, Monday through Friday.
For convenience, on Friday, we can deliver a double menu, which is different if you wish to use it on Saturday.
We do not yet offer a Sunday menu.
We offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
The weekly subscription covers the period from Monday to Saturday. The Saturday menu is delivered on Friday, and no delivery fee is charged for it.
The monthly subscription starts on the first Monday of each month and ends on the last Friday of the month. You can purchase a subscription for the following month during the last 10 days of the current month, while the menu is still available on our website.
By choosing a monthly subscription, you save 10% on the price of the meals.
Furisto DUO is our two-course menu, including a soup and a main dish, without dessert.
Date syrup, agave syrup, rice syrup, maple syrup.
Outside Sofia, you can order all menus except ZELENO FURISTO. At the moment, the demand for this menu—which includes fully organic ingredients and pasture-raised meat—is still too low for us to maintain the availability of these premium and costly ingredients outside Sofia.
However, we truly hope, and are actively working, to change this in the near future.
The menu is suitable for children with lactose and gluten intolerances. However, it is not suitable for children with severe allergies. In such cases, we recommend consulting your pediatrician first in order to discuss and establish an appropriate diet or feeding plan.
For more information about children with mild intolerances and the latest approaches to introducing different foods, you can read the article by children’s nutrition consultant Magi Pashova.

Dairy products are mainly replaced with gluten-free oat milk, coconut, or rice milk. The protein content is compensated with more legumes and meat products.
The packaging in which the food arrives varies. ZELENO uses entirely biodegradable packaging placed in a paper envelope. In FURISTO, we use recycled plastic, BPA-free, and the food is entirely chilled to avoid harmful contact with plastic, which happens when you take food or coffee home in hot conditions, even in paper packaging. They even have a plastic coating to prevent leakage. The FURISTO boxes are placed in a cardboard holder for easy carrying, which are reusable and can be returned to us. Both FURISTO and ZELENO strive to help conserve nature.
You can place your order directly at the location where you would like to collect your meals, and the staff there will kindly forward your order to us. Payment and collection of the food will take place at that location.
The only pick-up point orders that can be placed through our website are for the Baleo Bio and CBA store chains.
