Dan Riegler on Natural Meat Alternatives
Karana uses natural, regional, Southeast Asian ingredients as meat substitutes in consumer and foodservice applications. We use plants like jackfruit, which require minimal processing, have a very low environmental footprint, a great nutritional profile, and are fun and dynamic for chefs to work with. We are launching our first products soon and have some exciting developments in the works to bring more plant-based options using local flavors.
