The Simple Root gets its name from the use of root vegetables, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, and parsnips to create a creamy base for the products. The innovative process used by the brand is one that's healthy and the way it transforms the planet-friendly ingredients sets it apart from other brands in the space.
Thanks to its simple ingredient lists, the brand speaks to consumers who are looking to reduce their intake of dairy, simply enjoy more plant-based foods or enjoy allergens. Some of the flavors in the brand's portfolio include Salsa Con Queso, Smoked Gouda and Sweet Chili for its cream cheese-style spreads.
Coming soon, there will be plant-based cheese slices and shredded cheese to be launched by the brand during the second half of 2023.
