Coyotas
 |
Tortillas |
Founded by Janet Flores Pavlovich, Coyotas was inspired by her childhood in Hermosillo, Sonora, where she rediscovered the beauty of flour tortillas. After working as a chef in both Mexico and the United States, she aimed to create an innovative tortilla made with only four ingredients, free from grains, gluten, and gums. Today, Coyotas Tortillas are crafted in small batches in Southern California, maintaining the authenticity and simplicity of traditional tortillas. |

Karma Nuts
 |
Snacks |
Karma Nuts was founded by Ganesh Nair, who married his Masters in Health Science & Technology from MIT and 10+ years of diabetes care work with his family's deep legacy in the cashew business. After decades of proliferation in sugary snacks and fried junk food, he saw an opportunity to develop an alternative to the oil-fried cashews that were normally seen on supermarket shelves. Karma Nuts introduced a line of minimally processed cashews, including the Wrapped® cashew (the most delectable, crunchy, and nutritionally-dense cashew) which was developed by the Nair family leveraging their 85+ years of experience in the cashew business. In 2016, the Wrapped cashew was recognized as the “Best New Snack” at the world’s largest Natural Products show, Expo West. Karma Nuts has since developed many flavors of both Wrapped and Roasted (which are the more conventional “skin-less” cashews) cashews, using All-Natural, Non-GMO Project Verified, Vegan, and Kosher ingredients and are available through both online and brick & mortar retailers. |

Verse Chocolate

Chocolate |
Verse chocolate is the result of innumerable treks across the globe, untold hours of conversations with people from distant lands and a sincere dedication to studying the best methods of crafting chocolate. Your participation in that journey begins with your first bite of our dark chocolate. Verse has 'cracked the code' on how to make a dark chocolate less bitter without the use of excess sugar. It starts with cacao bean fermentation at the farm. The fermentation process of cacao is directly related to the taste and sweetness of what becomes chocolate. Verse can deliver a high cacao content with all the creamy sweetness of a lower percentage. |
