Pick Up Limes is a vegan platform focused on food, nutrition, and wellness, founded in 2017 by Sadia Badiei. It provides resources such as recipes, videos, articles, and a mobile application available for iOS and Android, with the goal of promoting plant-based eating and offering tools to help individuals incorporate more plant-based meals into their lives.[1][2]

History

Badiei started blogging in 2014, shortly after graduating from the University Of British Columbia and beginning her career as a dietitian in Vancouver.[3][4] During a backpacking trip to Thailand, she met her partner, Robin de Rozario, which later led her relocation to the Netherlands.[1][3][4] While Robin pursued his Ph.D. in control engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology,[5] Sadia focused on developing Pick Up Limes, creating recipes and sharing content on its website and YouTube channel. The first video on the Pick Up Limes YouTube channel was uploaded in January 2017.[3][4] After completing his Ph.D., Robin joined the team, and in 2023, the Pick Up Limes mobile application was launched.[1][4]
