Unlike other plant-based foods that rely on soy, nuts, oils, and highly processed ingredients, The Simple Root uses an innovative process to create a creamy base from root vegetables — including potatoes, sweet potatoes, and parsnips — and then blends in more vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices. The products do not containdairy, nuts, soy, gluten, wheat, eggs, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. All products also carry the Certified Plant Based® seal from the Plant Based Foods Association, the country’s first and only trade association representing plant-based food companies.

Leslie Maclin, Chief Marketing Officer of The Simple Root, said: “The Simple Root is the perfect partner for modern households who are looking for interesting ways to incorporate more vegetables and plant-based foods into their diet. Our delicious, veggie-based foods are great for consumers who are pursuing a plant-based diet and for those who just want to eat more veggies or reduce meat and dairy.”

The Simple Root will introduce more products into its global brand portfolio in late 2022 and 2023, including block, grated, sliced, and snack cheese and desserts.
