Product Information: Explore Cuisine takes great pride in exploring the world to provide you with excellent products that are certified organic, vegan, kosher, non-GMO, gluten-free, and most importantly delicious. Loaded with protein, fiber and iron, Explore Cuisine is reinventing the way people look at pasta with health-minded products like Chickpea Fusilli, Black Bean Spaghetti and Red Lentil Penne.

When Founder, Joe Spronz, was developing the brand, he searched high and low to find the best place to source its beans and manufacture its products. After endless hours, sleepless nights, and many international plane rides, he handpicked factories in Italy, China, and Thailand that are 100% dedicated organic and gluten free facilities.

Food To Thrive Foundation: Explore Cuisine is universally dedicated to helping our workers thrive and flourish, in their home lives and in the work place. Explore Cuisine believes that healthy food grows from healthy hands, hearts and lives, and we are dedicated to a life-giving initiative that nurtures our farms and the lives of our workers. We love to give back to those who contribute to Explore Cuisine’s innovation and success, which is why two percent of all Explore Cuisine worldwide proceeds go directly to the Food To Thrive Foundation, providing education, empowerment and advancement in farming programs to every Explore Cuisine team member. Rooted in a pure love of health, a respect for life and a deep commitment to success, Explore Cuisine is committed to bringing your family whole, healthy meals … from our table to yours.
