For pioneering plant-based alternatives to popular foods

Karana is creating healthy, sustainable plant-based foods, and doing so using minimal processing. The company, co-founded by Blair Crichton and Dan Riegler, uses ingredients that have a naturally meat-like texture. Its first product transforms jackfruit into a whole-plant-based alternative to pork, which is also made into ready-to-cook products. Karana sources its ingredients directly from smallholders to promote an equitable supply chain.
