In this week’s episode of Shelling Peas, Sweet Pea's Chef Ryan Jennings dives into a conversation with Sharon Cryan, founder of FoodNerd, who shares a vision that aligns perfectly with ours: combating the barriers to healthy eating by making nutritious choices accessible, appealing, and easy for everyone.

Starting Early: The Key to Lifelong Health

While it’s never too late to change your habits, Sharon highlights how starting early can encourage lifelong health. She shares how FoodNerd aims to "deliciously disguise" fresh, whole foods by transforming them into nutrient-packed, shelf-stable cereals and snacks kids love, making healthy eating easier and more appealing while challenging the overwhelming dominance of ultra-processed foods.

Sharon’s journey from attorney to food entrepreneur was driven by a passion for nutrition and a belief that every person, starting with every child, deserves a strong foundation for health. Through FoodNerd, she’s created products like their flagship puffs, which deliver 100% of a toddler’s daily fruits and vegetables in a convenient, snackable form.

Where to Find FoodNerd

Thanks to their recent win at the 43North competition, FoodNerd is scaling up to bring these game-changing products to more families. Starting in early 2025, you’ll find them at FoodNerdInc.com, on Amazon, and at select retailers nationwide.

This episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and shared values. Be sure to tune in and learn more about how Sharon and her team are making it easier to nourish the next generation, one delicious bite at a time.
