Further Food Commentary:

This Carrot Lentil Soup is packed with healthy nutrients and perfect for a cozy night in. Red lentils are a great protein source, especially for vegetarians - 1 cup is almost 40% of your daily intake. They are also very low in fat and have a good dose of iron and B vitamins. The ginger in Superfood Turmeric also adds tons of benefits. Not only is it anti-inflammatory and full of antioxidants, it can help with things like nausea, muscle soreness, and even regulating blood glucose.

Founder's story:

"My father had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my mom was
managing her hypothyroid, and my best friend was struggling with painful IBS.
I went online to search for food-based and natural solutions that could help
them heal. But what I found was scattered, disorganized, and left me more confused. I thought, ‘There must be an easier way to discover solutions for various ailments from real experts and from people who had done it themselves. So I decided to build a resource—a platform for food as medicine solutions
for all your health needs. And I decided to take the wisdom from this community to create real food based products that heal.
