“Young consumers are savvier and more curious about food than ever before but have had few appealing options in the freezer. Strong Roots brings a better experience-a delight to come home to on a busy weeknight for a meal or a tasty everyday snack. We inspire today’s healthy eaters to be spontaneous and creative by offering flavorful foods they can mix and match with minimal prep. We are a purpose-driven company. Our foods are smart and sustainable, avoid spoilage, and have recyclable packaging. We want to help change lives for the better,” commented on the launch Samuel Dennigan, founder of Strong Roots.
Founded in 2015, the company sells its products in over 4,000 supermarkets in Ireland and UK. In the US, Strong Root’s line of frozen meals will be available in natural and specialty food stores, as well as major supermarkets via natural product distributors KeHE, UNFI and others.
