Two of the best ways to support black-owned businesses is to shop in their stores and recommend their products to others. It's not always easy though because sometimes its hard to know if a company is black-owned.

So here are 5 food brands owned by African Americans that you can look for and purchase at your local grocery store:




#1 - Glory Foods: Founded in 1989 in Columbus, Ohio, this company offers 85 products, including seasoned canned greens, bagged fresh greens and other vegetables and seasoned cooking bases.

She launched her company in 1984 and has been a supplier to Denny's, Walmart, General Mills and Sara Lee.

#3 - Comfort Cake Mix: This company is owned by Amy Hilliard and specializes in premium poundcakes made from scratch.
