Siete Co-Founder & President Veronica Garza turned to cooking in response to health issues that responded well to a low-inflammation diet. After perfecting her #glutenfree tortillas for years, her Grandma Campos gave her the high praise of saying they were better than the homemade flour tortillas she’d been making for decades! 

Siete is proudly Mexican-American and mission-based, offering tortillas, chips, sauces, seasonings, and more that bring their family-honed flavors right into your kitchen. 🌶️

    Hellooo spring! Spring just so happens to fall on Hellooo spring! Spring just so happens to fall on the same day as #InternationalDayofHappiness and something that makes us very happy is when our customers find joy in the little things in life—like kiwi berries, finger limes, baby bok choy, and wittle petite avocados! 

Undersized produce is often rejected from traditional grocery stores for not meeting size standards, but why should that mean we’re all deprived of its adorable charm? 

Grape-ful for a community that loves the little guys as much as we do. 🥰
    Today we’re celery-brating two women doing big t Today we’re celery-brating two women doing big things for big animals: Katherine and Krystal! 

Katherine has been volunteering with @primarily_primates since 2021, picking up donated produce from Imperfect Foods to bring to the sanctuary for the 300+ animals who call it home. Rain, shine, or snow, she’s committed to getting these primates the food they need. 

And shout out to another woman with a big heart, Executive Director Krystal. She’s dedicated her career to caring for animals in need. At Primarily Primates, she makes sure the animals have the appropriate diet, environment, and enrichment opportunities they need to stay happy and healthy. 

Ape-solutely amazing work, Katherine and Krystal. We’re so proud to partner with you! 💚
