One of the hottest superfood trends in the industry right now is kelp. Kelp is a nutritional powerhouse packed with vitamins, minerals like iodine, and antioxidants. This superstar from the sea is finding its way into a number of products, ranging from sauces and crackers to burgers and beer. SKU Fall '24 brand Foraged & Found revolutionizes pantry staples by infusing everyday foods with sustainably harvested kelp. It offers innovative products like Kelp Pickles, Pasta Sauces, and Salsas that make it easy and delicious to enjoy the benefits of this nutrient-dense superfood. Foraged & Found was founded in 2017 by Jenn Brown, a former private chef who cooked onboard tourism yachts that traveled along the Alaskan Inside Passage. Exploring the natural richness of every waterway and forest resulted in unique and incredible culinary discoveries. With a desire to share these newfound secrets with the world, she put her expertise to work developing delicious, familiar food products like salsas, pickles, and sauces, with wild-foraged Alaskan superfood ingredients like bull kelp and sea asparagus. Not is Jenn passionate about sharing the bounty of Alaska's unique wilderness. She's committed to keeping it that way. From recyclable packaging to their wild harvesting and foraging processes to involvement with local organizations to protect aquatic plant life, Foraged & Found has a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Foraged & Found is getting high marks from customers. "I ordered their Spicy & Sweet Kelp Pickles and loved them! When I tried them, it caused my girlfriend to think I was having face spasms. I was just me trying to wrap my mind around the explosion of sweet, salty, tangy, and mild heat of these. I even got my 7-year-old daughter to try them. She is super picky but gave these two thumbs up and asked for more several times." Foraged & Found is one of the eight brands selected for the fall '25 Track, which includes Amia, Bala Enzyme, Kif & co, Long Table, Modica, Peace Love Hormones and The Bloody Buddy. More than 70 mentors will work with this incredible group of brands - CPG leaders, successful founders, investors and subject-matter experts. Michelle Breyer Buff Greebe Maddie S.
