We make the foods people love better by using more nutritious ingredients. Our first product, a delicious pasta made from chickpeas, is the fastest growing pasta brand in the country. In just over two years we’ve gone from an idea to a product in 11,000 stores, and are the #1 pasta in Whole Foods and Target. We've been in the NYT, WSJ, and were named one of TIME’s 25 Best Inventions of 2015, but most importantly, we've brought a better pasta to millions of happy customers.
