The future of food is not being invented.
It is being reconnected.
BERLIN. BOTSWANA . EU APPROVED 2024
While the industry builds labs to replace what Africa grows, Tsarona built the supply chain to bring it directly to the world.
Bambara groundnut. Climate-tested for 4,000 years. Commercially available in Europe for the first time.
THE BROKEN SYSTEM
Europe's protein supply chain was built for a world that no longer exists.
82.8%
CROP CONCENTRATION RISK
Of European plant-based products depend on just four crops: soy, pea, wheat, and oat. One drought. One regulation. The whole system fractures
40%
PROJECTED YIELD LOSS BY 2050
Climate change directly threatens soy and pea yields. The ingredients the industry depends on are becoming unreliable.
5-7
COMMODITY BROKERS PER CROP
Every alternative crop passes through multiple middlemen before a factory sees it. Margins disappear. Traceability is impossible. Farmers earn almost nothing.
The industry is optimising a broken system. Someone had to replace it
THE ANSWER WAS ALREADY GROWING
Bambara Groundnut. Climate tested for 4,000 years. Commercially available in Europe for the first time.

Our creamy, frothy and plant-based African Nut Drink is made from organic Bambara groundnuts and Tiger nuts, one of Africa’s most climate-resilient, nutrient-rich crops. It’s 100% vegan, rich in heritage, and made with a purpose.
Inspired by the bold beauty of the vibrant African culture, this packaging honours the wild harmony of nature. But what’s inside is even more special: before the nuts are used, they’re prepared through a traditional ritual of massaging and hand-cleaning, a practice passed down for generations, showing deep respect for the ingredient and the land and makes them super creamy.
With no additives, gums, or nonsense, just real, slow-made nourishment, our Bambara Drink is delicious in coffee, smoothies, or straight from the glass.

THE FOUNDER
Kamogelo Thumankwe grew up in Botswana eating Bambara groundnut. She moved to Berlin, saw a broken food system built on four fragile crops and went home to build the supply chain that didn't exist.
The Ministry of Agriculture MOU, the NARDI partnership, the farmer cooperatives, the processing protocols, the regulatory clearance none of this exists without a founder who grew up with this crop. That is not a replicable advantage. It is a permanent one.
The supply chain exists because of who built it and where she's from.
