It started back in 2014 when Imogen was born with allergies. Melanie started whipping up ‘free-from’ snacks in the kitchen and experimented with fruit.
Where we began
Back then there wasn’t the awareness of added sugar and chemicals in dried fruit and other foods that there is today. When our healthy baked fruit turned out to taste great and be a hit with practically everyone – Nibblish was born.
While Imogen’s allergies were the catalyst for us to start Nibblish, it quickly became apparent just how much food around us had added sugar and chemicals in them. We’ve always been active and health conscious so we set about learning about the global fruit industry to see how we could make a difference.
We figured if we could make a sugar free baked fruit in our kitchen, why couldn’t we take that to all New Zealanders and the world?
We used to create small batches of product in a little kitchen in Wiri and then go and beg supermarkets in Auckland to give us a go – we’d set up a table and give people a taste of what we’d created. Fortunately, people caught on and started asking for us in supermarkets around Auckland and then down to Hamilton, Wellington and into the South Island. From there we’ve been putting more and more healthy snacks into pantries all over New Zealand.
