The Story
Palette/Palate is a culinary and wellness product resource centered around the powerful effects of color consumption. What began as a concept for an experimental color-centered multimedia platform, Palette/Palate exists today as the home of all things wellness and color. The concept of ''eating your colors'' evolved into the brand’s motto- “wellness through the power of color,” guided by diverse palates, an affinity for tradition, and dreams of the future.
In my quest for optimal wellness tools for the mind and body, my research and experiences lead me to realize that without the power of color, our energy centers within us would not be well fed. With the popularization of various supplemental health products, I've noticed that many of them lack the complexities of beneficial compounds that exist within the colors naturally derived from our Earth. We forget that while most supplements have the potential to be very impactful, there is truth in the notion that the ingestion of color transcends most wellness tools that exist today. With that being said, welcome to Palette/Palate, where colors and flavors meet to help you feel your best. By focusing on handcrafted supplements, teas, and blends, I hope to provide you with an arsenal of colors to enhance your well-being.
I’ve found that the best way to help everyone experience the power of colors is through the mindful concept behind my first product launch: the Palette/Palate Wellness Blend Series. With a commitment to sustainability, ethical practice, sourcing from small farms, and providing full transparency, the small-batch blends are color-specific plant-based formulas made from organic materials that will not only ease your system, but also your conscious. With support, Palette/Palate will be able to provide goods at a larger quantity in order to supply those who may need assistance when it comes to attaining wellness goods. With our communities in mind, our planet’s health in need of maximum healing, and cultural preservation at the forefront, we aim to do so much more than what currently meets the eye. I hope you join this everlasting journey.
