About Primal Kitchen

Primal Kitchen is a California-based pantry brand known for building everyday staples like mayo, dressings, marinades, and sauces around avocado oil instead of refined seed oils. Founded in 2015 by Mark Sisson and Morgan Buehler, it leans into paleo, keto, and Whole30-friendly recipes and was acquired by Kraft Heinz in 2018.

Kraft Heinz purchased the company in 2018 for approximately $200 million.
