FLAVOR-DRIVEN MEALS

Golden Roots Kitchen is a flavor-driven, organic, prepared meal service that places quality of ingredients first. We believe that a healthy, active, and satisfying life begins with how well we are nourished. GRK features primarily plant-based dishes, as well as carefully selected pasture-raised animal proteins and wild fish, to offer customers an opportunity to curate their own weekly meal plan with ease and efficiency. Creative weekly menus are inspired by international cultures and packed with fresh herbs and spices. GRK was born out of the belief that food is the foundation of a strong community and one's health—and we are inspired to serve you through thoughtful and holistic meal preparation!


SUSTAINABILITY

Joining Golden Roots means becoming part of a community that allows us to pool our resources together and cut down on our environmental footprint. With strong intention and some extra effort we can eliminate much of the packaging and waste that most meal kit services generate. 

We use only reusable glass jars and compostable plant-based packaging for your meals. Each dish packaged in a  jar has a $1 deposit fee included. Wash and return your jars and lids and we happily return your deposit. Our eco-friendly plant-based packaging is reusable at home and can be composted commercially after use.

ACTIVATE

Taking the extra step of using traditional preparation methods that involve soaking and sprouting means that vegetable-based proteins like nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes are much more digestible and bioavailable. We know from our personal experience that maintaining a primarily vegetable-based diet requires these extra steps to ensure proper nourishment that will ultimately allow for sustained energy, strong digestion, and healthy skin.
