About The Green Pepper Posse

At the heart of Edwins Don’t Like Peppers is a mother and son, HK and Adelino. This foodie duo is on a shared mission: to bring children and families together through the common language of food. Inspired by the legacy of their grandparents, they set out to create a book that not only celebrates food but also empowers the next generation to embrace it as an adventure.  This book is more than a story—it’s a movement. A movement to spark food confidence, curiosity, and connection in children everywhere. 

Food is more than just what we eat—it’s about the people we share it with. Grandpa Edwin understood this deeply, ensuring that family meals were a time of togetherness, laughter, and love. His tradition of gathering over food continues today, reinforcing the idea that mealtime is about more than just nourishment—it’s about creating lasting memories.

Through Edwins Don’t Like Peppers, we hope to inspire kids and families to:

• Embrace their unique food journey
• Stay open to new flavors and experiences
• Strengthen family connections through shared meals
• Change the global food story for good, starting locally.

And that’s why we created the Green Pepper Posse (GPP)—a movement dedicated to food empowerment. The GPP is here to help kids build confidence in their food choices, celebrate their evolving palates, and create a future where food is a joyful, shared experience for everyone.

We invite you to join us on this journey. Hug your grandparents, savor your meals, and let’s grow, taste, and thrive—one bite at a time!  Be part of the Green Pepper Posse today!  Stay Curious, Confident, and Kind.                   ALL FOODS WELCOME!
