Welcome to Nourish
Nourish is a menu made for you and your health. Tasty, comforting, and powerful, Nourish flavors and ingredients give you the best and brightest foods for getting –and staying– healthy.
Nourishing food is an important tool for restoring and maintaining good health. It is the fuel for your body’s engine. The better the fuel, the further you’ll go! Nourish is premium fuel, a delicious collection of high-powered foods designed for your health and healing and crafted with care for your wellbeing.
Based on the science of how your genes respond to certain foods* to support healthy function, each item on the Nourish menu contains key nutrients that help you restore your health – and keep it.
Inspired by the Blue Zones and based on culinary genomics, our approach is to fuel your body for optimal health and longevity.
The Blue Zones
Blue Zones, also known as longevity hot spots, are home to small groups with a high concentration of centenarians – people who live to the age of 100 and beyond. In Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Icaria, Greece; and among the Seventh-day Adventists in Loma Linda, California, large swaths of the population live long lives that are largely free from illness and disease. Diet and lifestyle play a key role in the long, healthy lives these people enjoy, and Nourish captures these healthy habits and dietary practices with the aim of bringing these benefits outside the Blue Zones and directly to you – our customer.

The Nourish program is based on culinary genomics:
-
Nutrigenomics – The study of how the food we eat interacts with our genes to affect health.
-
Culinary genomics – The union of nutrigenomics and the culinary arts, teaches how to choose and prepare specific foods that may influence important genes and promote optimal health.
Culinary Genomics allows us to look at foods consumed in Blue Zones and their impact on genes – from how they’re grown, sourced, and prepared and how they promote longevity without disease. Guided by this research, we carefully source, select and prepare foods that influence and promote wellness.
*The term nutrigenomics emerged from scientific questioning around the interaction between genes, bioactive food compounds and overall health outcomes. Nutrigenomics explores molecular-level interactions between genes and nutrients using multiple fields of scientific study, including biochemistry, physiology, nutrition, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics.
