MightyBee creates vegan jerky

MightyBee has introduced a range of raw, organic, vegan jerky produced from young Thai coconuts to offer a healthy everyday snack option.

The three-strong range is made by marinating the flesh of organic coconuts in a homemade sauce and gently dehydrating the jerky to lock in the natural nutrients.

Each flavour, says the company, has its own story: Chocolate & Hazelnut is inspired by Ferrero Roche; Teriyaki is fresh from the streets of Tokyo; and Spicy BBQ ­is reminiscent of smoked Spanish charcuterie.

The range was developed in collaboration with raw vegan chef Lorena Loriato, who says: “The whole process has been a real labour of love, from selecting the natural ingredients to honing the dehydration process. The texture of the Thai young coconut meat has been a superstar here; it really helped us to develop something that truly appeals to both vegetarians and omnivores.”

“Brought up in a family with a history of diabetes and lots of weird allergies, I spent a lot of my childhood getting lost in the streets and munching on homemade treats from food trucks,” says Ice Min, CEO and co-founder of MightyBee. “Growing up, my siblings and I had few options in supermarkets. That’s why we’re so proud to have produced our range of guilt-free snacks with Lorena; it’s healthy, free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar, and utterly delicious.”
