How everything started
A letter from Mireille, owner/chef BentoSprout:
Cooking has always been my passion, but I never thought I'll do it as my profession.
So here's how everything happened.
I grew up in Japan eating my mom’s bento. I loved my lunch because uncovering the bento box and discovering the colorful, wholesome foods inside was just like opening a treasure chest. Time to time my mom sneaked in a little dessert which made my day.
In 2009, I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area following my dream to become a scientist. I loved my job, but not the meeting lunches. I was tired of eating same tasting sandwiches again and again. I didn't want to see the giant cookie as dessert because I knew I would eat up the whole thing only to feel embarrassed later that I've overloaded myself with fat and sugar.
It was one night when I was preparing my daughter's bento box for the next day that a light bulb went off my head: A healthy bento (with a little dessert enough to sweeten your day!) would be a perfect lunch solution for office and anywhere else that will keep you energized and feel great throughout the day.
I founded BentoSprout with the vision to make healthy delicious Bento accessible to everyone, and to create little happy moments in our busy daily lives.
Let the healthy and happy journey start.
Mireille
