Plant Based Paradise

Plant Based Paradise

In college, Husna Ridha started a dessert business and evolved it to focus on plant-based and allergy-friendly options. Her Plant Tarts, plant-based and allergy-friendly hand pies filled with flavors like strawberry, yuzu or apple cinnamon, are a hit with customers and on Instagram.

“Studying nutrition was imperative to the success of my business. The food service classes helped me build a strong foundation for my kitchen skills, the experimental food science classes allowed me to explore alternative ingredients, and the plant-based food and nutrition classes for my minor emphasized the benefits of plant-based options and the plant-based lifestyle overall.”
