Our Guiding Roots and Principles

Laroot is on a mission to build bridges through food, making the world a healthier and more connected place. That means doing good for you, the Earth, and local communities every step of the way.

Food is medicine

Laroot unites the world’s great healing traditions—Ayurveda, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western nutrition, and modern science—to create meals that build resilience and vitality. Every ingredient is organic, gluten-free, and selected for its ability to nourish, support immunity, aid recovery, and help prevent illness.

Our recipes and culinary practices are built on knowledge that spans thousands of years. We incorporate the teachings of four schools of world medicine, Eastern European traditions, and Blue Zone food philosophies.

Food is Personal

Healing is never one-size-fits-all. Our white-glove concierge service ensures every client receives meals tailored to their needs and preferences. Partnering with trusted organic farms, we source the highest-quality seasonal ingredients to deliver care with precision and integrity.

Nourishment through Ancestral Traditions

Food is most powerful when it is both healing and joyful. At Laroot, we honor ancestral traditions by drawing on recipes from around the world—uniting cultural wisdom with the science of nourishment. Whether for longevity, prevention, or recovery, we believe joy is essential to healing: when food is enjoyed, it becomes truly medicinal.

Sustainability as Care

At Laroot, sustainability is inseparable from health. We serve exclusively in glass and compostable containers, eliminating plastic altogether. Surplus meals are donated to the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge and community partners, while local sourcing and fair labor practices create a closed-loop system that supports wellbeing at every level
