View company profile

Hungryroot is an AI-powered online grocery service designed to make healthy eating easy, personal, and sustainable for its customers. Many people face the challenge of wanting to eat healthier but lack the time for extensive meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking. Hungryroot addresses this by getting to know each customer's unique preferences, lifestyle, budget, and health objectives. Through a detailed quiz covering tastes and daily routines, the platform gathers over 100 explicit data points per customer, enabling its AI to curate a personalized grocery plan. This plan includes recommended groceries, simple recipes, and even essential supplements, aiming to help customers feel their best. The service inverts the traditional shopping experience; instead of starting with an empty cart, customers begin with a full cart of healthy groceries and recipes that they can then edit. This approach significantly reduces the time and stress associated with meal preparation, helps users achieve their health goals, discover new foods, and save money by reducing food waste and reliance on takeout.

The company was founded in 2015 with the belief that food is the foundation of health and that convenience shouldn't mean compromising on quality or personal needs. Initially, Hungryroot operated as a packaged food company offering a small line of healthy products. However, responding to customer demand for a more comprehensive solution, it pivoted in 2019 to become an AI-driven online grocery delivery service. Today, Hungryroot offers over 600 groceries that meet a high-quality 'Root Standard' – free of artificial sweeteners, colors, preservatives, partially hydrogenated oils, and high-fructose corn syrup – and over 6,000 chef-crafted recipes. These recipes are designed to be nutritious, easy to follow, and typically take 10 minutes or less to prepare. Hungryroot supports over 25 dietary restrictions and preferences, more than many competitors in the industry, catering to needs such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and high-protein diets. By leveraging AI, Hungryroot not only personalizes the customer experience but also optimizes its operations to minimize food waste, contributing to a more sustainable and economical way of grocery shopping.
