\\u201cOne of our top priorities is how we can shift components of our plate to make them more nutrient dense and to bring in more of these under consumed vegetables into our daily diets. This product is a turn-key solution.\\u201d

This week on The Produce Mom\\u2019s Podcast, we sit down with self-proclaimed \\u201cVeggie Nerd,\\u201d and Founder of Cece\\u2019s Veggie Co., Mason Arnold. Mason is also on the board with The United Fresh Produce Association. It is amazing how many guests on The Produce Moms have inspired change out of the necessity for innovation in their own lives. Cece\\u2019s is named after Mason\\u2019s daughter, and was created in 2015 as a way to provide a healthy and gluten free alternative to pasta.

\\u201cEverything we do is meant to be fast and easy\\u2026 the faster I can put things together, and still make sure my kids get vegetables as a major part of my dinner, helps to continue to inspire innovation at Cece\\u2019s.\\u201d

Cece\\u2019s is Certified Organic, Whole 30 Compliant, Certified, Non GMO, and free of major allergens. They work closely with their farmers to determine vegetable variety, growing season, and to determine the very best timing for harvest. Mason is full of intention, purpose, and passion, and his goal, and the goal of Cece\\u2019s as a whole, \\xa0is to move veggies to the center of the plate in a fun and delicious way.

\\u2018One thing I\\u2019ve learned is having that balance and finding the things that are both nutrient dense, sustainable, and healthy, but also can be done in a way that everyone can access them, and help everyone in the country eat healthier.\\u201d
