Siete Family Foods is a better-for-you Mexican-American food brand that offers grain free chips, tortillas, and an expanding lineup of heritage-inspired products. Siete is on a mission to bring people together to experience the flavors and traditions that united the Garza family on their journey to health. The company is based in Austin, Texas. With the $90million investment earlier this year, The Garza Family is committed to keeping the ethos and family values that makes Siete so great, but looks forward to being able to grow the team (plans to double again this year), create more products and impact the lives of even more people. They also want their story to inspire others to invest in Latino-owned business (who are often underfunded).
HISTORY
Siete was founded in 2014 by siblings Veronica and Miguel Garza and their mother Aida Garza. After being diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders as a teenager, Veronica adopted a grain free, low inflammation diet, to combat the often-debilitating symptoms. Her entire family of seven (siete) joined her on this journey, but as a Mexican-American family from South Texas, following a grain free diet meant that they were missing out on staples of their diet such as tortillas and chips. To remedy this problem, Veronica began experimenting with grain free recipes her whole family could enjoy, developing the almond flour tortilla, Siete’s first product. The company is still family-owned and operated by all seven members of the Garza family. They are passionate about making and sharing real food, gathering together in authentic community, and advocating for healthier lifestyles among Latino families.
