Seitan
...also called Miànjīn and Fū, amongst other names.

Seitan has a history that spans over a thousand years and doesn't travel in a straight line — monastery kitchens, Vietnamese restaurants, canned goods on Asian grocery shelves, Japanese macrobiotic diets, punk food co-ops. It's been quietly present in a lot of places at once. Unfortunately, as people tried to make it at home in the west, it frequently earned a reputation for being dense and gummy.

Ours picks up those threads and goes somewhere different —

— Texture — countless months of taste testing together has landed us with seitan that has a satisfying, surprisingly meaty bite
— Complete protein, ~25g per serving — chickpeas fill the amino acid gaps wheat gluten leaves
— Fiber — from those same chickpeas
— Depth — miso does the work, no industrial flavorants needed
— Holds up — even through heat, sauce, and days in the fridge or months in the freezer
— Whole ingredients — minimally processed, nothing artificial
— Made in Baltimore — shaped by a lot of shared meals

This is made in small batches. When a batch is gone, it's gone — get in touch to be on the list for the next one.

Fermented Green Chili
...a mix of green peppers, garlic, and whole spices fermented slowly

Lacto-fermented long and slow, with no artificial stabilizers or additives. The green offers a mild yet present heat and deep, punchy flavor rounded out by black peppercorns from a family farm in Sri Lanka.
A red chili ferment is in progress that's gotten lots of early excitement — more intense with hints of allspice.

Work-in-progress updates on yields like the red chili ferment will be found on the website.

Fermented Beverage  ·  In Development
Wild Sodas
...wild fermented, non-alcoholic drinks.

Fermented sodas cultured from the native life in organic ginger root. The flavors tend to be tart and refreshing with no ginger taste. Mango has been an absolute favorite in the community. Carbonation stability is what we're still working on. If you find that compelling, tell us!
