ABOUT US
For as long as I can remember, I had a love for cooking because it allowed me to spend time with the beautiful and powerful Haitian queens who came before me Mommy-Na (my great-grandmother), Momma (my grandmother), and Ti-Mama (my mother) taught me how to cook, and each time we prepared food in the kitchen laughs were exchanged, and a whole lot of herbs and spices were involved.
When I went away to college, I struggled with the food options-- it lacked flavor, and was very expensive. It was during this time, that decided to just opt out of my meal plan to save money and I began meal prepping using homemade seasoning blends that reminded me of my mother's cooking. I later graduated and became a scientist and found myself being experimental in my workspace and in my kitchen.
In 2018, the I learned that the FDA recalled a drug used to treat hypertension due to traces of a carcinogen. Having a family history of hypertension sparked my desire to learn more about hypertension.
Here are some of the statistics that stood out to me the most:
-
Nearly 1/2 of the adult population in the United States have hypertension.
-
Only 1/4 of those with hypertension, have it under control.
-
High blood pressure is more common in non-Hispanic black adults than in non-Hispanic white adults.
-
Having hypertension puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death in the United States.
I also learned about the many ways our diets can contribute to hypertension, and as a result It's Seasoned™ was born. Here at It’s Seasoned™ we curate seasoning blends prepared with our customers health in mind. All our blends are low in sodium, and free of fillers: no msg. no gmos. no artificial flavors, preservatives or dyes. What once started as a small home-based business, is now a food and wellness brand, manufactured in a commercial kitchen located in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. It’s Seasoned™ is more than just a seasoning company, and what sets us apart is that we are a food and wellness brand that believes in the power of evidence-based research— and there is growing evidence to support the fact that individuals can improve their blood pressure levels when they exercise regularly, eat healthy, and reduce sodium in their diets. What continues to motivate us to keep going, is making a difference in the lives of our It's Seasoned™ friends (customers). To date, we have provided individuals access to high-quality food-based products, and we want continue to educate and empower them to be more aware of what they introduce into their bodies.
