Our Story
Our Beginning
At two, my son was diagnosed with autism and severe gastrointestinal issues.
To get him on track, my wife and I started to put him on an aggressive gluten free and
dairy free nutrition program.
The nutritional changes helped heal his GI issues, which allowed for better absorption of nutrition.
As a result, he could focus on other necessary therapies.
Within three years, our son was in a mainstream classroom and was doing well academically and socially.
Our Journey
After my son’s recovery, I was convinced that plant-based nutrition was the right approach for managing inflammation.
It became apparent that reducing one’s allergen load (such as consumption of gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, oils, preservatives, and chemical-containing non-organic foods) helped the body recover from daily stresses.
I’ve dedicated my time in developing snacks free of damaging ingredients and founded Amrita Foods in 2012.
Since then, our growth has been steadily amazing.
Our Mission
It is our mission to create better-for-you
plant-based snacks that nourish the body
and soul.
We focus on “inclusion” by creating snacks free from the top 9 food allergens.
We strive to hit a balance between local and global ingredients to reflect the America we live in.
We follow a triple bottom line - where people and social mission take equal priority to profits.
And lastly, we are deeply involved in giving back to the autism community by providing employment to young adults in the spectrum.
Our New Factory
We’ve launched our new allergen-free bakery last March 2020 in Bridgeport, CT.
This 100-year old building will hold snack making classes this summer.
Our Community
As an elite bike racer, I have always cared about the connection between food and athletic performance.
We sponsor a lot of athletes and events.
Hope to see them soon in 2024!
