Common-Allergen-Free Organic Foods!
Rich and Wholesome Foods was founded by a concerned family with no previous ties to the food manufacturing industry. After using dietary changes to reverse chronic health problems, the co-founders of Rich and Wholesome Foods saw a need to bring people delicious foods free from commonly used offending ingredients linked to many health issues now at epidemic proportions in Americans today.

co-founder shares her story with you below.

Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
Like many Americans, I was raised eating the Standard American Diet, giving little thought to ingredients or what they were doing to my body. That all changed when my son was diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum at 18 months old. Told by our doctors there was no cure, forced us to look at a future of heartbreak, anxiety, and constant therapy. Our daughter was born two years later and suffered from viruses almost from the start. She had ear infections that wouldn’t clear up long enough for the doctors to surgically insert the drains they were convinced she needed. Both of the children were perpetually on antibiotics. At the same time, my husband was hospitalized more than once for undiagnosed but severe abdominal pain. I too had health problems and just assumed that was how life was.
After months of searching for answers and seeing as many doctors as we could find, we received a new diagnosis for the cause of our children's health issues from a uniquely informed doctor – Food Allergies and Food Intolerances, an under-diagnosed cause for many of the health issues facing millions of American families.
To help my family, I spent every waking moment for several years scouring every source imaginable to learn about how foods are causing a myriad of health problems in epidemic proportions today – I was alarmed to routinely find the same conclusions in reputable scientific studies from around the world: common-food-allergen ingredients, preservatives, food colors, yeasts, genetically modified substances and chemicals in almost every packaged food are poisoning our society. These ingredients are linked to inflammation, weakened immunity, digestive-tract cancers, digestive disorders, Celiac Disease, Chrons Disease, Autism, ADHD and a host of other problems on a rapid-rise today.
By eliminating food allergens such as soy, wheat and dairy, as well as avoiding synthetic food additives, genetically modified ingredients, enriched ingredients and synthetic fortifications common to most packaged foods, my family began to heal. When we then increased food based sources of nutrients such as probiotics and DHA, our health rapidly improved. My son transformed into a typical child. Gone were all his autistic symptoms –doctors now deem him a typical healthy well adjusted kid. My daughter's infections disappeared without antibiotics or surgery. My husband no longer has stomach issues, and I no longer have the same health issues I had learned to live with.
The catalyst for starting this company was learning that we were not alone in our journey to better health through improved diet. There are hundreds of thousands of families across the country reversing allegedly incurable health issues through simple dietary changes.
The old adage still holds true – necessity really is the Mother of Invention. Our families are all faced with a complete lack of convenience as few packaged foods met the criteria for better health because the food industry ignored the need to make great tasting foods free from offending ingredients they introduced to our diets over the past generation. The need to provide people with a trustworthy alternative was obvious. That is how Rich and Wholesome Foods came to be.
Nogürt was created as a delicious snack for my own family. Now we are able to offer this scrumptious and healthy treat to your family as well. Nogürt is free from all common food allergens, certified organic, gluten-free and parve kosher. Nogürt is the yogurt alternative – packed with probiotics and rich in DHA and other digestively soothing ingredients. We love it, our kids love it and your family will love it too.
In Good Health,

How We Give Back
Our hope is to make a difference by helping people eat healthier. We donate a portion of every sale of our products to AllergyKids, a non-profit allergy-awareness charity. Our mission, like that of AllergyKids, includes helping you become better educated about the dangers of food allergies and the easy changes we can all make in our diets to avoid the significant consequences of eating allergy-causing foods.
The ingredients we’ve chosen are also intended to minimally harm the Planet. That’s why we produce only certified organic products which are soy free (soy production is the leading cause of global deforestation).
We encourage you to reclaim your health through simple dietary changes. We also invite you to learn more about our charitable partner at www.AllergyKids.com.
