Rooted Vegan Cuisine Specializes in Restaurant-Quality Frozen Plant-Based Food

Rooted Vegan Cuisine was founded by Naomi Hendrix Oyegoke, and the company is co-owned by her husband Olugbemiga “Mike” Oyegoke. The San Antonio, Texas brand specializes in restaurant-quality frozen vegan food items, which can be found at a variety of retail stores and restaurants in the Texas area. This month, the Oyegoke duo significantly expanded the RVC reach with the brand’s new test kitchen concept featuring vegan Italian fare.

“I have always loved Italian food and have been shocked by the lack of options for vegan Italian cuisine in the area,” said Naomi Oyegoke. “I would often complain to friends about how there was nothing like this being offered in San Antonio, so we decided to create it ourselves. Rooted Vegan Cuisine’s test kitchen invites people to come sample our dishes, order for takeout, and check out our amazing merchandise. We also make everything available for the rest of the country, through national shipping.”

During her studies to become a registered dietitian, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time (Go Broncos!), she met Maggie and Tammie through VegOut Kalamazoo (one of VegOut’s first focus cities) and began collaborating with the duo. When she’s not writing about new vegan eats, practicing as a pediatric clinical dietitian, and virtually coaching fellow plant-based eaters, you can find her creating veg-centric recipes, trying new cruelty-free products, and spending time with her partner Addison and cat Kovu.
