Rooted Fare
 |
Food Products |
Rooted Fare was founded by Ashley Xie and Hedy Yu, who are childhood friends and second-generation Chinese Americans. They created the brand to celebrate their heritage and offer modern Chinese American pantry staples that reflect their experiences growing up in two cultures. Their first product, Black Sesame Crunchy Butter, is inspired by a traditional dessert from their childhood, tang yuan. The brand aims to empower people, especially second-generation Chinese and Asian Americans, to honor their roots and embrace their creativity. |
