We are happy to spread the news about social enterprises we encounter, even if we have not yet tested their products. In this case, it is the Origins story that catches our attention:
FreshPaper was created by a young inventor who happened upon the active ingredients after accidentally drinking some tap water while visiting her grandmother in India. Her grandma gave her a home remedy – a mixture of spices, which kept her from getting sick. (Click here to hear the story in her own words.)
After years of research and development, (starting with a middle school science project!), she discovered a new application of her grandmother’s generations-old home remedy – a remarkably effective way to keep food fresh!
Fenugreen was founded in 2010. It all startedwith handmade batches of FreshPaper handed out at the farmer’s markets and street fairs in Cambridge, MA.
Today, FreshPaper is used by farmers and families across the globe, and Fenugreen is establishing initiatives to benefit local food banks in the U.S. and small-scale farmers in the developing world.
Fenugreen is a social enterprise with the mission of “Fresh for All.”
