Who knew that jackfruit could feed the world? Today we talk to Karana's co-founder Dan Riegler about the hidden potential of this biodiverse ingredient, the way their plant-based meat products are ethically sourced through regenerative agriculture and the importance of creating healthy, nutritious and affordable alternatives for all.

About Karana

KARANA is leading a new category of meat made from jackfruit. The founders believe that when it comes to better food choices, you can have it all — taste, health, and sustainability. In fact, with Jackfruit as the star ingredient of their first products they put biodiversity on the table too. While keeping ingredients and processing to a minimum they're still able to provide a natural meaty texture and maximize all the juicy flavor you crave. Responsible sourcing is another core Karana tenet as they're proud to support small shareholder farmers in Sri Lanka. The Karana story began in Singapore in 2018 and since then, they've launched products across their home market, Hong Kong, and the Bay Area.
