About Elari

Elari comes from the Yoruba language of West Africa, where the Tigernut is grown. It refers to the inner self or “inner seed,” a nod to the Tigernut and to our mission to inspire mindfulness around healthy living for ourselves, our families and the planet. We are proud to be a black, veteran and woman-led business making plant-based foods more accessible to diverse communities and shifting the conversation from sustainability to replenishment. With this tiny yet mighty root, we can create a better tomorrow for everyone. Read their story
