Plantega is a brand that is revolutionizing the way New Yorkers access plant-based food options. With a mission to bridge the gap between plant-based food manufacturers and independent corner stores, Plantega aims to make healthier, sustainable eating more approachable, affordable, and accessible. Plantega has partnered with renowned brands like Beyond Meat, JUST Egg, Good Catch, Miyoko’s Creamery, and more to bring a variety of plant-based products to NYC's iconic bodegas.

The brand has successfully launched in 14 locations across four boroughs, including Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn and Jamaica in Queens. Led by founder Nil Zacharias, Plantega initially started as a 3-month pilot program in underserved communities, but due to the overwhelming positive response, it has expanded to over 20 bodegas across the city. Plantega's concept of in-store deli marketing and dedicated vegan fridges has made plant-based options more accessible, making it easier for New Yorkers to adopt a sustainable, plant-based lifestyle.

By partnering with local bodegas, Plantega is transforming the way people think about food choices and making plant-based options readily available to a broader audience
