The History of Primal Kitchen

Primal Kitchen was founded by Mark Sisson, a former elite endurance athlete whose life’s work revolves around all things fitness. His passion comes straight from personal experience. After years of doing tough workout routines and eating a high-inflammatory diet, Mark wanted to find another way to stay fit and strong. When he started following a Paleo diet—eliminating potentially problematic foods—he saw some big shifts in how he felt. Frustrated when he couldn’t find a conventional mayo made with healthy ingredients that were sourced ethically and sustainably, Mark set out to help others get on the same path. Since Primal Kitchen’s uber-popular Avocado Oil Mayo was launched (more on that below!), the brand has expanded into other pantry staples like ketchup, dressings, marinades, and bars.

Primal Kitchen Company Mission

Just. Real. Food. It doesn’t get simpler than that. Primal Kitchen is all about making real-food pantry staples without using anything processed or artificial. It starts with wholesome, ethically sourced ingredients like cage-free eggs, organic avocado oil, and organic spices to make its signature marinades, sauces, and mayos.
