12:12Now PlayingAlong with their eldest sister Shelby, Amy and Jackie launched Soom Foods, the leading U.S. purveyor of premium tahini, in 2013. The Pennsylvania-based company sells jars to consumers and also supplies restaurants directly. Famed Philadelphia chef Michael Solomonov made their first big order. In 2017, the company sold more than 500,000 pounds of tahini, up from 20,000 in its first year. Restaurants using their spreads include sweetgreen, Superiority Burger in New York City and Turkey and the Wolf in New Orleans.
Amy sat down with Forbes deputy editor Kristin Stoller to talk about why she decided to start a tahini company, what it's like running a business with family and how Soom works towards sustainability.
