Vegan minced meat

Gisela was one of the first customers of KARANA in Singapore and has worked with every iteration of KARANA products so far making her THE EXPERT working with our versatile meat made from jackfruit! From a chef’s perspective, she has helped guide and develop it into the blank canvas ingredient it is today, ready to be used for any dish or cuisine.

CHEF’S HELP SCALE SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENTS

Gisela loves jackfruit not only for its versatility and meat-like qualities but because it supports biodiversity and delivers value to smallholder farmers. Food equity is extremely important to Gisela and she believes chefs can play a key role in expanding diversity and equity in our food system.
