Dana Thompson, who was part of the team behind the James Beard Award-winning restaurant Owamni, has a new focus: beverages.
Dana Thompson has spent much of the past decade thinking about food—be it advocating for food sovereignty or as cofounder of Minneapolis-based Owamni, which won the James Beard Award for best new restaurant in 2022. Now, she’s turned her attention to beverages, with a new line of low-dose THC/CBD cannabis seltzers called Heti.
As with her work in food, Thompson is embracing her Indigenous ancestry and incorporating ingredients native to North America. The seltzers come in four flavors infused with the likes of cranberry, sumac, dandelion, cedar, rose hip, wild mint, and black currant, and naturally sweetened with honey, maple, and agave.
