About Sponsor:

ZENB (pronounced ZEN-bee) is a direct-to-consumer, plant-based food brand committed to providing a new way of thinking about what plants can do – in our meals, for our bodies, and in the world around us. A global brand with vast presence in Japan and the U.K., ZENB debuted in the U.S. market in 2019 with domestic headquarters in Chicago. With a whole-plant approach to use the skin, seeds, stems and all, ZENB offers a range of product lines that elevate deliciousness, including ZENB Pasta & ZENB Gourmet Sauces, with plans for rapid expansion. ZENB aspires to improve sustainability and the global environment by thoughtfully selecting ingredients, including its ZENB Pasta made from 100% yellow peas, which has a lower carbon footprint and uses less water and fertilizer to grow than the durum wheat used to make traditional pasta.
