ZENB exists to cultivate more conscientious eating … for ourselves, our community, and the world around us.
We take a plant-full approach as we re-invent everyday food using only real ingredients. Embracing the Japanese zenbu (全部) concept of WHOLE, we add less and waste nothing to unleash the flavor & nutrients of plants.
Our food development legacy stretches back over 200 years with a nature-driven, upcycling approach. Today, we’re applying our expertise to unlock what plants can do with no compromise on taste & texture.
