How We Started Our Pantry.
We are a two friends who have shared laughter, tears and many meals together.
Coming from different parts of the world, we took turns sharing the food we grew up with. One meal would lead to another, and along the way we discovered each other’s flavours, languages and customs. More importantly, we discovered just how much we have in common.
There is something special about gathering around a table. You eat, you talk, you laugh, you share stories, and somehow, you get to know each other a little better.
That is what we love most about food.
So we wanted to share that feeling with others. To bring foods we love into more kitchens, and perhaps introduce you to a flavour you have never tried before, or a dish that reminds you of home.
And that is how The Rainforest Pantry came to be.
Jackie is the one who cares deeply about what goes into the food we eat. She is our main food sourcer, always looking for products made with good ingredients and a story worth sharing.
Kenny is the optimist. He believed in his friend and the idea, and decided to come along for the journey.
We are still learning as we go, but one thing remains simple: we love food, we love sharing it, and the way it brings people together.
Welcome to our pantry, and hope you find something you like.
