A New Jersey company is working to change the way people think about everyday foods.<\/p>\n
Fabalish, based in Carlstadt, is focused on creating healthier versions of common favorites using simple ingredients.<\/p>\n
The company makes items like tzatziki, ranch, mayonnaise and queso that are organic, plant-based, gluten-free and allergen-friendly.<\/p>\n
They describe their products as \u201cproudly perishable,\u201d meaning they avoid preservatives and focus on fresh ingredients.<\/p>\n
The idea grew out of founder Jessica Gebel\u2019s personal experience with health issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe grew up on your American standard diet, and in my early 20s I ended up having a lot of health issues,\u201d Gebel said.<\/p>\n
When traditional treatments didn\u2019t help, she turned to cooking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started making sauces out of chickpea water\u2026 and the next thing I knew, I created a brand because I was selling out each week,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
That chickpea water, known as aquafaba, is now a key ingredient in Fabalish products.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt acts like a great egg and dairy replacement\u2026 which is really hard to believe,\u201d Gebel added.<\/p>\n
The company has grown from a small kitchen operation to a 10,000-square-foot facility with about 25 employees.<\/p>\n
Fabalish has also expanded beyond sauces, producing items like falafels made from chickpeas and fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n
The goal is simple: make food that not only tastes good but also makes people feel good.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just brings so much joy\u2026 that goes into your food, and then that spreads to more people,\u201d Gebel said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A New Jersey company is working to change the way people think about everyday foods.
