Luya - the organic Swiss protein source

Discover Luya, the natural Swiss organic protein source made from fermented chickpeas and soybean okara. We'll show you how our traditional fermentation process works and how you can delight your guests with dishes using our natural ingredient.

More and more people are reducing their meat consumption for sustainability, health, and animal welfare reasons, desiring diverse, balanced, and culinary-rich options in gastronomy. Unfortunately, available meat substitutes are highly processed, discouraging both guests and professionals.
What's in demand are versatile, gently processed raw ingredients from natural sources. Luya offers an alternative organic protein source from Okara (soybean pulp) and chickpeas. Through traditional mushroom fermentation, we refine these healthy legumes. Luya isn't a meat imitation, but it can be used like meat, offering entirely new culinary possibilities. Luya is juicy, delicious, and versatile, without the need for additives due to its gentle processing and natural fermentation.
Learn more about the history of fermentation and Luya's production, and discover how you can create new culinary experiences for your guests with Luya.
