A Dozen Cousins

A Dozen Cousins is an American packaged-food brand built around bringing Caribbean, Latin American, and Creole-inspired flavors to everyday family meals. Its offerings primarily include convenient beans, rice, seasoned foods, and related products designed for easy preparation or reheating. Founded by Ibraheem Basir, the brand combines convenience with an emphasis on culturally rooted home-style cooking. Publicly available information is insufficient to confirm its headquarters, parent company, complete product portfolio, or current operating scale, so this entry limits its description to the better-established aspects of the brand and its positioning.

A Dozen Cousins was founded by Ibraheem Basir in 2019. The brand's name and product direction are connected to an interest in family cooking and Caribbean and Latin American culinary traditions. It entered the market through convenient packaged foods, presenting staples such as beans and rice in formats intended to reduce preparation time while retaining regional flavor profiles. Public brand materials describe an approach that combines traditional tastes with modern convenience. Because verifiable public information is limited, there is not enough reliable evidence to provide a complete account of later financing, ownership changes, sales scale, manufacturing arrangements, or international expansion.
