A
plant-based food company that aims to give bodegas healthier food options is expanding across New York City.
Plantega started their pilot program at just three
bodegas, and after getting a good response, it has now expanded to a total of
seven bodegas across the city.
Co-founder Nil Zacharias says his goal is to make
healthy food more accessible, especially in communities that lack healthy food
options.
He says his goal is to expand to 20 bodegas this
year alone, with the hope of expanding to even more bodegas in the future.
