Why we exist

We believe a pack of tempeh can feed a family, lift a community and protect the planet. All at once.

Empowering people

We work alongside the Orang Asli, Peninsular Malaysia's Indigenous peoples, and other vulnerable groups, creating fair-paid work, skills training and steady income close to home.

Protecting the planet

Less plastic in our packaging, and locally made plant protein that needs a fraction of the land, water and energy of meat.

Feeding families

High-protein, naturally fermented tempeh, priced for everyday Malaysian meals. Good nutrition should never be a luxury.
