The cashew industry is Proper Nuts—more than 50% of African cashews take an unnecessary detour to Asia before reaching Europe. That’s crazy, right? At Johnny Cashew, we’re fixing this broken system by sourcing directly from farmers and ensuring that cashews are peeled where they are planted. This creates hundreds of jobs, strengthens local economies, and ensures fair wages for farmers. We are Fairtrade certified, and our cashews are fully traceable, Rainforest Alliance Certified, and packed in 100% recyclable packaging. By keeping the supply chain short, we save 57% in transport emissions, eliminate unnecessary middlemen, and deliver better, fairer cashews to consumers. Already stocked by Lidl, Albert Heijn, and Picnic, we’re proving that sustainable sourcing isn’t just possible—it’s the future.

PrimeJack® is a patented easy to use 100% natural meat-like ingredient that rehydrates to 8 times its weight. It is produced by Fiber Foods Group. Reducing meat consumption is one of the most effective ways of mitigating climate change. Eating less meat and more plant-based is promoting a healthier and more balanced future for both the planet and people. Jackfruit and especially dried jackfruit is a hero in this transition. Traditionally, jackfruit is processed into cans; creating inefficiencies and limitations for use in larger-scale food manufacturing. PrimeJack® is young jackfruit that is harvested, peeled, cut and dried at source in Africa.
