Meet the Founder: Reyansh Jaggi

Reyansh Jaggi is a high school student who loves cooking and entrepreneurship, and wants to make food more accessible for people with dietary restrictions. He was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome as a child. The hardest part was having to follow a low-sodium diet so young.

He didn't let that limit him. He used it as a chance to explore new flavours, techniques and cuisines, and spent years cooking with his father. Along the way he learned that good food doesn't need salt.

Reyansh is also the author of Don't Be Salty: A Memoir and a Cookbook (Adhyayan Books). It's part memoir and part cookbook: the story of how he and his father learned that salt was never the secret, flavour was. It's available on Amazon in paperback and as an e-book.

LabelLens grew out of the same mission. If you need to watch what's in your food, you should be able to understand a label quickly. Reyansh wants to show children and families with similar challenges that healthy, low-sodium food can still be exciting. One day he hopes to open a restaurant where people with dietary restrictions can enjoy great food without feeling limited.
