Featured Culinary Nutrition Expert

Candi Haas and Rita Childers, Founders of Core + Rind

Candi and Rita are besties who founded their company, Core + Rind, after taking the Culinary Nutrition Expert Program in 2014 and 2015 respectively. This line of creamy and dairy-free sauces is blended with whole ingredients and fits with vegan, Paleo, Whole 30 and Ketogenic diets, so it’s a sauce for everyone! It took Candi and Rita a year to develop the shelf-stable recipe without additives or preservatives using organic and non-GMO ingredients, making it the only one of its kind on the market. And it’s absolutely delicious! Learn More (and grab a jar or two): www.coreandrind.com
