With many notable players on the market, the F&B industry is booming. Many women are leading this sector too, like in the fashion industry. During the pandemic, the F&B market did see a slight downfall, with restaurants remaining shut for a long time, but many found a way to keep the industry going, starting their business at home. As #InternationalWomensDay gets closer, let's appreciate those women that, against all odds, either continued their work out of the house or started their own business, still contributing to the F&B sector.
Here are a few F&B brands we'd like to appreciate, support and shed light on this #InternationalWomenDay:
Anita Mehra (Founder)
If you're looking for healthy home-baked goods, 'Home Baked' is the place for you. Home Baked is the brainchild of Anita Mehra, providing guilt-free gourmet treats to devour. Home Baked offers mouth-watering granola delicacies in flavours like Multigrain Orange, Mocha Maple, and Amaranth Apricot that can be enjoyed with your breakfast or dessert, topped onto your cereal or even yoghurt, tasting incredible in every way. Along with granola, Home Baked also specialises in Puff Bhel, an assortment of roasted wheat, ragi, amaranth puffs mixed with spices and peanuts, a great healthy snack option. So, why not commemorate #InternationalWomensDay with some treats, supporting a homegrown brand run by a woman!
