These Black-owned brands are doing what they do best: creating vegan food from vegan Jamaican patties to superfood drink mixes while empowering their communities.
These slow-cooked, ready-to-eat beans make use of one of our favorite plant proteins. Inspired by Black and Latino recipes, they come in flavors such as Cuban Black Beans, Trini Chickpea Curry, and Mexican Cowboy Beans, as well as classic Refried Beans. Plus, because many Americans in underserved communities don’t have access to healthy food, A Dozen Cousins provides an annual grant and volunteer support to nonprofits working to eliminate socio-economic health disparities in the country.

These vegan Jamaican patties were born out of a desire to veganize the authentic patties founder Carolyn Simon who is referred to as the company’s “Patty Queen” ate growing up, and the Beefless Lover’s Patty and Coconut Kale Delight flavors are the result. The Canadian company’s patties are available for shipping nationwide through online retailer VeganSupply.com.
