Green Chef is the first USDA-certified organic meal kit company in the United States, founded in 2014 in Boulder, Colorado, and now owned by HelloFresh. The service specializes in organic, sustainably sourced ingredients and caters specifically to specialty diets including keto, paleo, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and Mediterranean. Every Green Chef meal kit features USDA-certified organic produce and responsibly sourced proteins, setting it apart from competitors that only partially incorporate organic ingredients.
Green Chef delivers pre-portioned ingredients with chef-designed recipes that can be prepared in approximately 30 minutes. The service offers around 30 weekly recipes across its dietary plans, with options for two or four-person households. Green Chef is a certified B Corporation and offsets 100 percent of its direct carbon emissions, including deliveries. The company's packaging is made from recyclable and sustainably sourced materials.
