Meet Jords, the talented, creative founder of Mingle. In 2016, she embarked on a mission to transform the world of pantry staples after realizing that many options were loaded with additives, sugars, and artificial ingredients. Frustrated by the lack of healthy and tasty choices, Jords set out to create seasoning blends that would make cooking enjoyable and effortless.

With a commitment to real food and bold flavors, Mingle was born, providing busy households with delicious solutions for mealtime. From selling her car to fund the venture to personally delivering products to stores, Jordyn’s journey is a testament to her dedication and love for flavour.

Let's get into it, shall we? 👇🏼

Why did you start Mingle?

I started Mingle in 2016 after realizing the pantry staples I was using were full of additives, sugars, and artificial ingredients. As someone who values real food and flavour, I was frustrated by the lack of healthy, tasty options that could easily fit into my everyday meals. I wanted to create something that would make cooking enjoyable, not overwhelming—flavours that were bold, fun, and free from nasties. The goal was to offer products that made dinnertime easier without sacrificing taste or quality, something I knew many busy households were looking for.

How did you start Mingle?

With a $40,000 investment from selling my car and personal savings, I decided to take the leap and launch Mingle. I started by designing the packaging myself and promoting our seasonings through Instagram, building a small but passionate community of home cooks. We started as a direct-to-consumer brand, testing the market, and slowly expanded into retail. I personally delivered our first products to stores on weekends. It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey, growing Mingle to where it is now, with our products stocked in over 3,000 stores and a loyal customer base.

What's the alignment with Le Puree?

My connection to Le Puree feels personal because I first discovered it through my sister after she had my niece, Luna. As a new mum, she was looking for convenient, healthy options for Luna, and Le Puree ticked all the boxes. I also trust Luka from Boob to Food, who has spoken highly of their products, which only reinforced my belief in them. Le Puree’s commitment to real food and giving families back quality time aligns perfectly with Mingle’s mission of real flavour for real connection, making it a brand I truly resonate with.
