EP28: How to Ditch Corporate Life and Build a Conscious Food Business with Nikhil Arora

Nikhil and Alejandro were buddies in college when they heard from a professor that you can actually grow mushrooms from coffee grounds. In a college class, co-founders Nikhil and Alejandro learned mushrooms could grow entirely on spent coffee grounds.

What started as curiosity about urban farming has turned into a passion to Undo Food™ and reconnect families back to where it comes from through fun and delicious ready to grow and ready to eat products. They believe the underlying trust, transparency, and consciousness shouldn't change from the produce aisle to the grocery aisle, or from ready to grow to ready to eat.
