What's inside

An ingredient list you can read.

No starches, no binders, no artificial preservatives. Just three simple things.

  1. 01

    Whole Kabuli Chickpeas

    Slow-soaked chickpeas, gently steamed to keep a firm, toothsome bite throughout fermentation.

  2. 02

    Tempeh culture

    A traditional living culture (Rhizopus oligosporus) that weaves the beans into a firm, sliceable cake.

  3. 03

    Filtered water & vinegar

    Clean filtered water and a dash of natural vinegar to help the culture grow evenly.

  4. 00

    Nothing else

    No artificial preservatives, fillers, binders or added oils. 100% plant-based and naturally gluten-free.

The fermentation advantage

68%

less phytic acid

Raw chickpeas naturally contain phytates that bind minerals like iron and zinc. Our slow 48-hour fermentation unlocks them, making iron, zinc and plant protein easier to absorb, without bloating.

80%

less irrigation water

Whole Kabuli chickpeas need far less water than commercial cattle protein.
