What was the name of the Dragon's Den entrepreneur whose sauce business was branded Reggae Reggae Sauce?

The story behind the answer

Levi Roots was the Dragon's Den entrepreneur behind Reggae Reggae Sauce.

Roots, whose real name is Keith Valentine Graham, presented his Caribbean-style barbecue sauce to the Dragons in 2007. He secured investment from Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh in exchange for a share of the business, helping move the product from small-scale sales toward national retail distribution.

The sauce became the foundation of a wider food brand, and Roots became one of the programme's most recognisable success stories. His pitch combined a family recipe, musical performance and a clear plan for turning a distinctive product into a scalable business.

The brand name is sometimes shortened in casual discussion, but Reggae Reggae Sauce is the specific product associated with the pitch. Roots's later range expanded into other Caribbean-inspired food products and cooking ingredients.
