Could rethinking your food storage change your health and the planet? In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Grieg, Co-Owner and Co-Operator of Ambrosia, and Grae Maisenbacher from the marketing team, to dive into how a simple family tradition turned into a powerful movement for sustainability, reducing food waste, and reimagining everyday choices.

Jordan shares the story of how her mother, Jan, sparked the original idea behind Ambrosia— inspired by how her grandmother kept greens fresh long before plastic bags existed. We also explore how plastics came to dominate food storage, how different cultures approach food preservation, and why food waste is such a critical issue today.

Tune in to learn:

- The simple old-school trick for keeping produce fresh

- How plastic is impacting our food systems, and solutions you can start today

- Tips for making your kitchen more sustainable and efficient

- Why Ambrosia’s bags are different and how they support reforestation efforts.

If you care about food, conscious living, or simply want to be part of a better solution, this conversation is for you. Find out where to get your own Ambrosia Bag.
