Discover the Rising Stars in the Black-Owned Food and Beverage Industry
Over the past few years, there’s been significant growth in black-owned businesses, particularly in the food and beverage sector. Nicole Young, a spirits enthusiast, recently spotlighted several noteworthy brands that stand out in this booming market.
Starting off with a delightful salsa by Kyvan Foods, a company established by former NFL player Reggie Kelly and his wife Sheila. This duo has successfully crafted condiments and salsas using all-natural ingredients. Their honey apple sauce, made by slow roasting tomatoes and crisp apples, offers a unique blend of sweet and spicy flavors – a combination you won’t find elsewhere.
Another standout is the Tonomi brand, which focuses on gluten-free superfoods. They offer a variety of flour like banana flour, plantain flour, and cassava flour. These flours are not only perfect for baking but can also be added to smoothies.
The next brand, Mocktails for Mommy, introduced a collection designed for parents searching for zero-proof beverages. The founder, inspired during her pregnancy, wanted others to enjoy flavorful beverages without the inclusion of alcohol.
Happy Cork Wine and Liquor in Brooklyn, a black female-owned liquor store, boasts an inventory comprising 90% black-owned spirits. This extensive collection includes spirits from various parts of the world, showcasing the rich diversity and culture of the black community.
