Our Story

We started Jungle Kitchen with one goal in mind: to make tropical ingredients more accessible and appreciated. We’ve always known that the tropics are home to some of the most incredible herbs, roots, and spices, but too often these ingredients are overlooked or seen as "cheap." We’re here to change that. By sharing the flavors we love and showing how these plants can power a natural, plant-based diet, we’re bringing more diversity and vibrancy to your plate.


We care deeply about where our ingredients come from. Knowing the story behind each plant—who grew it, how it was harvested—makes all the difference to us. That’s why we’re dedicated to documenting the journey of our ingredients, from farm to table. Our dream is to build a culture where tropical ingredients are seen as premium—worthy of the spotlight they’ve long deserved.


Jungle Kitchen is proudly female-owned, and women are at the heart of everything we do. From the amazing women on our production team to the female farmers we work with, we believe in creating opportunities and uplifting one another. Together, we’re building a business that not only makes delicious food but also drives positive change.

Jungle Kitchen is an Exploration

It's a (literal) journey into the forests, farms, markets and kitchens of the tropical world. We are looking to discover - flavors, ingredients, dishes and styles that haven’t been presented to global audiences. This is why you will find Kohila in our JUNGLE JACK mine. Kohila is a super food and powerful soil restorer grown on the fringes on Sri Lanka's rice fields - there is as yet no English translation for the fibrous vegetable.

Empowering Equity

Our production facilities have been owned and operated by women for 3 generations building on decades of knowledge, passion and love. We believe this is significant because historically women, while doing an enormous amount of work in the food space have reaped very little of the financial rewards. Women are a huge source of farm labor. They also prepare and cook the food yet in almost every part of the world they sit at the bottom of the agricultural value chain.

Diverse & Delicious

We are constantly working on what’s next because we know with changes in trade patterns, the climate, demand for healthier, more nutritious food, what we eat is going to change. We want a world where we will be eating more diverse types of fruits and vegetables, less processed and more sustainably sourced food that does not compromise on flavour.
