Years ago the International section held some remarkable discoveries but now the flavours and inspiration found it traditional plant-based recipes from around the world are found throughout the grocery store… even in the ketchup aisle.
On this episode of Aisle 42 I talk with founder Richa Gupta from Good Food for Good and we talk about her passion for family eating that’s full of variety and nutritious choices that everyone, even our kids, can enjoy.
We explore her innovative approach to creating convenient, wholesome pantry staples that are packed with organic ingredients, free from added sugars, soy, corn syrup, gluten, dairy, or preservatives.
She walks us through her Whole 30 approval approach.
We talk about our favourite Indian, Mexican and Italian sauces and we cover some really important ground with their Buy One, Feed One initiative.
