Our motivation
Food for everyone
â Our everyday life was turned upside down when Simen came into the world 18 years ago. He was born prematurely and suffered a brain injury at birth. Chewing and swallowing difficulties were among the areas that required a lot of effort, and he received a feeding tube before he even turned one. We wanted him to both taste and smell the food we ate to preserve the joy of eating and to have the experience of being together with us during meals, says Heidi Aabrekk, mother of Simen and founder of Hiquid Food.
Many of us who provide homemade food through a feeding tube have been uncertain about whether the food we blend is good enough, and we have spent a long time figuring out which ingredients are suitable in terms of consistency for the tube. When we have to add more water to make it liquid, we worry if it will become less nutritious or if the amount of food will be too much.
Our experiences show, for example, that seeds in bread get stuck in the tube, raspberries don't work well, potatoes become gluey. We wondered will the thin liquid oatmeal hold until lunch? And will he get enough food over time to maintain his weight curve?
For many years, we wished for a better solution. When we're at home, we can blend the food and add necessary nutrients and flavor. But it's not as simple when we're on the go, on vacations, at restaurants, hiking in the woods or at school. Every day, we experience stress to defrost, heat up, and also administer at a suitable pace before the next class begins. Summer vacations bring worry about frozen food in checked luggage and the search for freezers in hotels. It requires careful timing and planning to accomplish all this in a daily life that is already hectic enough.
We've been looking for a simpler solution since 2005. We want more time for everything else. We want to continue discussing ingredients, tastes and smells when we eat. We want to cheer for the fantastic farmers we have here in Norway who grow incredible ingredients. In 2021 it struck us: What does everyone else do when they go on a trip and need a good meal? The answer is freeze-dried camping food. When you mix it with boiling water, it becomes like homemade! After 18 years, we are doing something about this for all of us who provide or receive food through a feeding tube.Â
It´s great to say: Now, there's food!
