Our tribute
Grandma Sita - A Tribute to Rosita
Every story has a beginning, and ours started in the warm, welcoming kitchen of Rosita, Elena’s beloved grandmother from Vigo, Galicia. Grandma Sita is a heartfelt tribute to her — with “Sita” being the affectionate nickname that comes from Rosita.
Elena grew up by her grandmother’s side, learning to cook with seasonal ingredients, to value every bit of food, and to waste nothing. That simple yet powerful wisdom guides our journey today, celebrating all grandmothers who have filled every meal with love, care, and creativity — and still do.
The Founder
Meet Grandma Sita
We all care about not wasting food, but sometimes a little lack of food knowledge can lead to waste at home. That’s where Grandma Sita comes in!
She’s a charming handmade puppet made from recycled materials, and she’s here to help us change the way we think about food. As a fun food educator and a champion against food waste, she brings lots of warmth and wisdom to our mision. Together, we’re promoting sustainability through creativity and care.
our approach
A grannie on a mission
At Grandma Sita, we believe real change starts in everyday choices — especially in the kitchen. That’s why we focus on education, creativity, and community to tackle food waste where it begins.
Through community events, intergenerational workshops, and online content, we help people rediscover the joy of cooking and eating together — while making small choices that lead to big change.
Inspired by traditional wisdom and guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our approach blends the old and the new, showing that sustainable living can be simple, affordable, and delicious.
Our values
Sustainability starts at home
Education for Change
We raise awareness about food waste and sustainable gastronomy through hands-on workshops, talks, and storytelling — because knowledge is the first step to change.
Zero-Waste
We help people turn leftovers, scraps, and seasonal produce into something plant-based and low-waste, making it easy (and tasty!) to cook with care.
Generations Together
We bring people of all ages together to share traditions, skills, and stories — just like our grandmothers used to. It’s about building community and passing on food wisdom with love.

our journey
Progress with Purpose
Grandma Sita was born in Copenhagen during the pandemic, thanks to the experience of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) exchange program and the support of the Danish Institute for Sustainable Innovation & Entrepreneurship (DISIE). In this unique context, we transformed our passion for sustainability and love of food into a soulful educational startup focused on zero waste.
Grandma Sita proudly stood as a finalist for the Danish Food Startup of the Year in the prestigious Basque Culinary Center (BCC) On The Road – Copenhagen edition, a competitive pitch event organised by the Danish Startup Group (DSG).
Operating from Galicia, we continue to grow with dedication—engaging in local and global initiatives that foster mindful, zero-waste food practices through education, innovation, and community collaboration.
