This week's guest is the founder of Jack and Friends, Jessica Kwong. Jack and Friends is on a mission to make snack foods you can feel good about eating, regardless of your lifestyle or diet. Made with jackfruit and pea protein, Jack and Friends jerky is not only vegan and top nine allergen-free, but a good source of protein and fiber with no added sugar.
We talk about the science behind snack foods, how she developed the idea for Jack and Friends, and how she has scaled the business in a really tough vegan and vegetarian competitive market.
