Amy’s Kitchen
Amy’s Kitchen is an American company specializing in organic, vegetarian, and frozen food. It produces organic vegetarian food, which includes the following: pizzas, burritos, lasagnas, and bowls. All of the ingredients are organic, and they use less sugar than mainstream brands.
The company was founded by Andy Berliner (who formerly worked with his wife’s family at Kraft Foods) in 1987. His wife, Rachel Berliner, was the one who came up with the name. After several years of sales and entrepreneurship of Amy’s Kitchen products, they opened a small factory to produce frozen burritos at the Palo Alto location. The products were distributed to health food stores and natural food retailers across the United States.
Its products are mostly frozen vegan dishes with various kinds of pasta and pizzas. The ingredients for these foods are either non-GMO soy or organic tofu with flavors that add depth, like garlic and herbs from spices. All preservatives are natural, like citric acid, guar gum, and sodium phosphate (salt is also an ingredient). No artificial colors or flavors are used in their products that could harm consumers.
Most of the time, its products are made from scratch in their facility. They use local organic food when it is available. Their pizza dough is made from organic flour and water to prevent yeast and mold growth. The dough is flavored with homemade organic tomato sauce, natural cheeses, and other ingredients. The pizza can be eaten hot, or it can be frozen for later consumption.
The Amy’s Kitchen frozen burritos are inspired by Mexican cuisine and are sold in stores across the United States. The ingredients for their burritos include beans, rice, salsa, and cilantro. The consumer topped the burritos with guacamole and salsa before they were microwaved.
The company is also involved in the pet food industry. Their pet food is made with non-GMO soybeans and contains no artificial flavors or preservatives. The main ingredient in frozen dog food is tofu, while the main ingredient in their cat food is chicken or venison. They also have vegetarian dog treats available for purchase as well as organic dog toys.
