Founder, Baitus Foods
Founder and CEO of Baitus Foods, Alice B. Madaki, after a distinguished career in banking, made a bold transition into entrepreneurship, driven by a passion for providing wholesome and natural food options to the community. Her commitment to health and wellness is reflected in the range of products offered by Baitus Foods.
Baitus Foods, launched in September 2019, began with a unique offering of whole lemon powder. The innovation lies in the comprehensive processing of the entire lemon, including the peel, oil, seeds, juice, and flesh, all of which are dried and blended. This method ensures that consumers receive the maximum health benefits of every part of the lemon, a philosophy that underlines the company's commitment to holistic wellness.
Over time, Baitus Foods has expanded its product line to include Tamba/Finger Millet with spices, Tamba/Finger Millet Flour, Acha/Fonio grain, and Acha Fonio Flour. These products demonstrate the company's commitment to offering diverse, nutrient-rich, and natural alternatives to conventional food items.
