In 1933, brothers Jack and Bill Hume set up a modest dehydration processing plant in Vacaville, California, using a technology that was later applied to potatoes. This was the beginning of Basic American Foods. In the mid 1950s, Basic American Foods established a potato processing plant in Blackfoot, Idaho, where the first instant potato product that could be rehydrated with boiling water was developed. This led to a series of innovative potato products for the foodservice industry that includes the brands Potato Pearls®, Golden Grill®, Classic Casserole® and Savory Series™. As the company grew, additional plants were built in Idaho and Washington. In response to a customer need for laborsaving quick-prep beans, Basic American Foods introduced Santiago® Refried Beans in 1986. The technology that created this authentic-tasting bean product is now being applied to Santiago® Black Beans and Santiago® Quick-Start® Chili. Today, Basic American Foods is led by Jack`s sons, George and Jerry. With nearly 40 patents to its credit, Basic American Foods is an acknowledged leader in research and development, earning universal respect for innovation, quality and customer service. The company continues to grow, staying focused on its customers and looks to the future with confidence. Today, Basic American Foods is a leading supplier of shelf-stable products to the foodservice market. Our portfolio, built on delivering quick, easy prep and consumer preferred taste.

Our family here started with our founders – Marine and Stephanie and their husbands too (#Teamwork). Little by little we grew into a family of 25, joining us from places all over world. And today, our home is in the sunshine state in beautiful Coral Gables, FL - just a few minutes outside of Miami. Not a bad place to call home, right? From day 1, the mission of our founders has been to make eating fruits easier. So we started digging. Did you know that when you ask U.S. consumers which snack they prefer most, fruit is the #1 choice? But in actuality, fruit is the #5 most eaten snack. In fact, 1 out of every 2 Moms in the U.S. doesn`t think her family is eating enough fruit. So what`s stopping us from eating more of the fruit we want?
