Instead of eating food from 3,000 miles away, eat local, fresh, nutritious food with less time and effort while helping someone else do the same.
After years of research about the food system, food insecurity, and how to prevent chronic disease (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity) nutrition professor Dr. Alice Ammerman founded Equiti Foods. Our first product is Good Bowls – healthy frozen meals based on the Mediterranean diet and locally sourced food. Good Bowls are locally sourced and made right here in North Carolina. There are 14 delicious flavors inspired from cuisines from around the world and are available for home delivery in the Triangle area and at various stores throughout the state.

Advantages of Good Bowls
Nutritious
Good Bowls are based on the clinically proven Mediterranean diet. The recipes are plant-forward with generous amounts of vegetables and whole grains. And in keeping with the Mediterranean diet, they also have healthy oils.
Delicious
We've surveyed thousands of customers. We've made, and continue to make, modifications to our recipes to produce the tastiest bowls we can.
Convenient
The frozen meal keeps for months and re-heats in 4 minutes.
Affordable
Good Bowls are SNAP-eligible, making them accessible to customers who purchase food with EBT (food stamps).
Why Frozen vs Fresh?
Longer Shelf Life
Good Bowls can be kept for months compared to weeks for fresh meals.
Less Waste
When fresh food expires, it must be thrown out. By using “misfits” (odd shaped vegetables that retailers won’t sell, we avoid food waste)
Comparable or Better Nutritional Content
Food used for frozen meals is picked at its prime and frozen. Fresh ingredients are picked before their prime and shipped, losing nutritional value as they travel.
Highly Scalable Production
Frozen meals can be produced on a large scale, greatly reducing costs and making the meals affordable to a wider range of customers.
