what the chefs say about us
“Karana is one of the best players in the market simply because they have a good, natural meat alternative that effectively follows the timeless ethos of simplicity being paramount to quality.

“At Candlenut we believe in using the best possible ingredients and keeping things simple, which is why we’re thrilled to be a launch partner for Asia’s first whole-plant meat substitute, Karana. We’re looking forward to introducing our new Karana dish to diners, to offer them all the texture and flavour, without any processing.”
Malcom Lee, Chef-Owner of Candlenut, SG
“There is a whole new horizon for Karana’s whole-plant based products, which can be easily substituted in so many different types of dishes. We’re very excited to be working with their first ingredient, a ‘pork’ made from jackfruit, which we’ve used to much success in our dumplings”
Ho Jun Yip, Head Chef of Butcher Boy, SG.
“I have always been in favour of plant-based meat substitutes – and i think KARANA delivers this particularly well. Also, I grew up up eating jackfruit and it has always been one of my favourite vegetables- so we hope to deliver something great with the KARANA-based Baked Samosa.”
Manav Tuli, Head Chef of Chaat, HK
“KARANA jackfruit is not just jackfruit, it really is a plant-powered protein that does not compromise on flavor and especially texture. Cooking with KARANA jackfruit has multiple applications from chorizo to breakfast sausage to kofta, among many others. What’s more, as a people-driven organization focused on social impact, we are proud to partner with KARANA since they are also aligned with sustainable farming principles.”
Phil Saneski, Chef at Farming Hope at Manny’s, SF, US
