Emerge member team Global Village Foods’ Allergy-friendly African-inspired Frozen Meals has been awarded a 2021 NEXTY Award for their full meal line and their Ethiopian Lentil Combo in the Best New Special Diet Food Category.
Damaris and Mel Hall began serving up the rich flavors of Damaris’ native Kenya in farmers markets, food festivals and a restaurant in Vermont. As parents to a child with severe food allergies, they later created this brand of allergy-friendly, frozen, African-inspired dishes to provide other families with healthy and flavorful meal options such as this flavorful Moroccan Inspired Lemon Chicken and olives with preserved lemon and green olives—one of five dishes in a line that also includes Swahili Inspired Curry Chicken, Ethiopian Vegan Lentil Combo, Chickpea Vegetable Tajine and African No-Nut Vegan Stew. This frozen food doesn’t look or taste like traditional freezer fare—an innovation worth cheering.
