Authentic Latin Flavors
Toast-It was founded with a mission to introduce the authentic flavors of Venezuela to American consumers in a convenient, toaster-friendly format. Their products are gluten-free, preservative-free, and made with natural ingredients such as yuca root, plantains, and organic seeds. They are designed to retain the traditional taste of arepas while catering to the busy lifestyles of their customers.
Success on Shark Tank
During their pitch on Shark Tank, Mafe and Coco emphasized the increasing popularity of Latin American cuisine in the U.S. market and the need for accessible, authentic options. Their dedication to quality impressed the sharks, with Daniel Lubetzky, founder of Kind Snacks, investing $150,000 for a 20% stake in the company. This partnership is expected to accelerate Toast-It's growth and expand its reach nationwide.
Expanding Product Line
While arepas remain their flagship product, Toast-It is diversifying its offerings to include other Latin American favorites like pandebonos and plantain buñuelos. They are committed to innovating and bringing convenient versions of traditional dishes to Latin food enthusiasts across the United States.
