What happens when a childhood rooted in farming, homemade food, and simple ingredients meets the modern need for clean, portable snacks? In this episode of Gluten-Free Unwrapped, Jenny sits down with Zora Tabin, founder of Wild Zora, to talk about her incredible journey from growing up in communist-era Czechoslovakia to building one of the most trusted clean snack brands in the gluten-free space.
Zora shares how her family’s connection to farming, whole foods, and using every part of the animal shaped the way she thinks about food today. She opens up about moving to the US and eventually launching Wild Zora from her Colorado kitchen after struggling to find truly healthy, protein-packed snacks for her family.
Jenny and Zora also dive into:
- Why clean ingredients matter more than ever
- The truth about “natural flavors”
- How Wild Zora pioneered protein-forward snacks before the trend exploded
- The realities of building a self-manufacturing food business
- Why so many gluten-free consumers rely on portable meals and snacks
- The growing interest in organ meats, freeze-dried foods, and regenerative agriculture
Whether you’re gluten-free, ingredient-conscious, or simply curious about how thoughtful food brands are built, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and inspiration.
