Our Story
We love PLANTAINS… but we also love convenience!
So we created our flagship product –Dodo’s Frozen Plantain Slices with these two loves in mind to give you a perfect mix of freshly frozen slices and your choice of texture, in a convenient format that eliminates food waste.We understand that eating healthy and reducing food waste is hard! We believe we can play a part to make it easier for you and your family to do both, one dodo at a time.
How it all started…
Femi founded Dodo Foods with the conviction that getting access to healthy and nutritious West African ethnic foods in North America shouldn’t be difficult. Growing up in Lagos Nigeria, Femi was accustomed to eating delicious plantains 3 to 4 times a week, all year round, without having to wait a day for them to get ripe enough for consumption. When he moved to Canada, sadly that was not the case.

Founder
"I began my career as a Product Manager in the financial district on Bay Street, creating great financial products to help small businesses thrive and grow. I always had the desire to create a simple product that could bring great value to people just like myself, so when we came up with the idea for our flagship product I got to work immediately."

Why Natural?
At Dodo Foods we believe plantains are in their purest form when they’re without preservatives or additives, which means they retain their natural nutritional content without any alterations or dilution. They provide essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber without the potential health concerns associated with artificial additives.

Speciality Produce
Plantains have a distinct flavor and texture that sets them apart from other fruits. While they are related to bananas, plantains are starchier and less sweet when unripe, and they become sweeter as they ripen. This duality allows them to be used in a wide range of culinary applications, from savory to sweet.
