Best Innovation
What motivated you to start your business, what challenges did you overcome?
I first discovered popped lotus seeds when I was a little girl growing up in India. My mother used to make it for me at home and it was my favourite snack. When I moved to Canada when I was 13, I noticed that I couldn’t find it anywhere. Over the years, I struggled to find good snacks that were both healthy and still tasted good. My quest to find the perfect snack kept bringing me back to the one of my childhood and I felt compelled to create Sacred Foods.
