We want a protein alternative that... 🗣️

👉 Focuses on nutrient dense ingredients
👉 Has about 15-20 grams of protein per serving (this is easier to achieve than you might think)
👉 Has less than 400mg of sodium per serving
👉 Has at least 3 grams of fiber per serving and is fortified when it makes sense
👉 Is actually more sustainable

Is that too much to ask? (Spoiler: it's not.)

Chiles aren't just the flavorful source of heat in your favorite foods — though we do love them for this reason, among many! ❤️

Indigenous societies in the Americas bred chiles over thousands of years, resulting in an extraordinary diversity of varietals. But they weren't just cherished for their culinary applications. The Aztec empire even used chiles as a part of their taxation system!

Although they have become central to global cuisines because of colonization, our modern industrial food systems are choking out the diversity at the root of this storied plant. Swipe through to learn more about the importance of the history, flavors, and traditions that make chiles the celebrated culinary ingredient they are today.

Do you know about the history and heritage behind your favorite source of heat? (No, we're not talking about the sun!) 🌶️

Originating in the South American Andes and cultivated in what is now Veracruz, Mexico, chiles are incredibly diverse ingredients! Whether smoked or dried, it's hard to deny their importance to the culinary world. Swipe through to learn more about these spicy fruits (they're botanically berries)!

One of the key ways we support our local foodshed is by purchasing from regional food hubs like The Common Market or Gorge Farmer Collective. 👩‍🌾

A food hub takes on the role of aggregating and distributing local food, making it easier for farmers to find institutional buyers (like us!) while streamlining the purchasing and delivery experience.

What are local foodsheds and how does Bon Appétit support them? We're glad you asked. 😏

From farm to plate, a foodshed is where food is grown, how it travels, and the markets and tables it arrives at. Think of it like a watershed, which describes the flow of water!

A resilient local food network is important to help those communities and economies navigate shocks without disrupting supply chains while also building climate resilience through sustainable, regenerative farming practices.

🤝 Bon Appétit relies on strong local foodsheds to help us meet our year-round local purchasing goals, which in turn gives back to and strengthens the local foodshed and community.
