Zellee Healthy Organic Plant-Based Snacks
At KDHamptons we love to learn about and support women owned businesses. Enter Zellee, a healthy organic plant-based snack based in Hawaii we are loving right now. Without added sugar, artificial flavors, dyes and animal gelatin, Zellee is filled with real fruit, vitamins A, C and D. 1/2 cup of organic fruit in each serving. Perfect for healthy pick me ups, kids lunch boxes, or a beach picnic. It tastes like a delicious fruit puree!
The story starts with Kimiko, Zellee founder Eriko’s Mom, who began making plant-based versions of Japanese gelatin desserts using locally sourced, organic, natural, non-GMO ingredients way before using locally sourced, organic, natural, non-GMO ingredients was even a thing people did. Kimiko was what business books like to call smart people, “ahead of her time.” Eriko then carried on the tradition for her own children. They loved the jels so much they wanted her to start a business, and so Eriko created Zellee Organic. To accomplish her dream of sharing Zellee with the world, she partnered with her long-time friend, Lisa, and today they are making the dream a reality.
“With our hand-selected, organic, all-natural, plant-based ingredients, we’re reinventing gelatin snacks to be naturally delicious and fruitfully fun. You won’t find any GMOs, added sugar, preservatives, food dyes, artificial flavors, or animal byproducts in these pouches. And, since our jels are free from all of the 8 major food allergens, we proudly partner with SnackSafely.com,” shares Eriko.

She adds,”At Zellee, we’re passionate about ending food insecurity and hunger in our community. And, when we think about our community, we don’t just think about the perfectly blissful (and surfable) Hawaiian Islands; we think about the greater United States and beyond. Through our partnership with Feeding America, we donate tens of thousands of pouches to various food banks throughout the country each year. We’re also proud partners of the Whole Planet Foundation, whose mission is to alleviate poverty in the poorest parts of the world.”
