🎉 So exciting to see our friends and partners Atoria's Family Bakery scale their upcycled naan. Originally pitched as a part of a Misfits Market challenge and launched as an exclusive, the flatbread is now accessible for broader distribution. Shoutout to Inanna Eshoo, Lilea Eshoo, Rick Eshoo, Issy Keup, Emily Bowman, and the rest of the Atoria's team. We couldn't ask for better collaborative partners. This is a super delicious item, and an excellent showcase of the magic of your brand. #UpcycledFood #UPinc #UpcycledCertified #EatUp #PoweredbySuperGrain #CircularEconomy #Circularity #ESG #foodinnovation #bakeryinnovation #cpg #bakery #flatbread Upcycled Foods, Inc.

What’s your favorite #beverage #innovation? Coffee Leaf Tea is a must try! The flavor is loveley and requires no sweetener because there is no bitterness. The caffeine level is gentle, but can elevate your day. More antioxidants than matcha. Plus, an incredible social mission (year round revenue for coffee farmers instead of 1/3 of the year, hello!) and environmental impact (a co-harvest that is 100% #upcycled and reduces ag waste). Come try it today at #IFTFIRST at the Westrock Coffee Company booth with two flavors on tap, classic cold brew and piña colada nitro.
