West Gosford based Food to Nourish, a company dedicated to producing organic gluten-free wholefood products, will be exhibiting at the nation’s largest food trade show, Fine Food Australia.
The business was co-founded by nutritionist Danielle Minnebo in 2013 after she identified a gap in the market for genuinely healthy gluten-free foods.
She was inspired to start the company due to her own health issues and set-up business at West Gosford when she moved from Sydney four years ago.
A passionate home cook, Minnebo began experimenting in her home kitchen in 2013 rolling thousands of bliss balls.
“I use my nutrition education and experience to create quality, organic and nutrient-dense products,” Minnebo said.
“It is really important to me that our products are made with integrity and no shortcuts are made to cut costs.
“You can always trust our products to be made with the best organic ingredients and processed in a way that allows for better digestion and absorption of key nutrients.”
Minnebo’s own journey with her health has not been an easy one.
“I have had to deal with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, an auto-immune condition that affects the thyroid gland, and also polycystic ovarian syndrome,” she said.
“The impact of both these conditions has had a significant impact on my health and sent me on a huge journey to find the best way possible of nourishing and treating myself using food as medicine.
“My mission is to help spread the real food word to as many people as possible.”
Armed with a Bachelor of Health Science in Complementary Medicine, Minnebo also has an Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine and a Diploma of Nutrition from the Australasian College of Natural Therapies.
The nutrient-dense organic wholefood products – free from gluten, dairy and eggs – include protein cookies, sprouted snacks, nut butters, cereals and baking mixes.
Food to Nourish will be exhibiting at Fine Food Australia, the nation’s largest food trade show which focuses on the future of food.
The event is at Sydney’s ICC from September 11-14 and will feature more than 850 exhibitors and more than 100 speakers.
