Jesse & Bens is on a mission to get seed oil free fries in every freezer.
We believe that people deserve to enjoy their favorite foods without the junk. Thats why were during one of Americas favorite junk foods into joy food by going back to basics: just potatoes, healthy fats (like grass-fed beef tallow or avocado oil) & salt/seasonings. Thats it.
We are the fastest growing french fry brand in the country, but we still have a long way to go. Follow along our journey if you love french fries and building a better food system!
