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.
There is a growing demand for versatile raw products based on natural ingredients that are minimally processed.

Luya offers an alternative organic protein source from Okara (soybean pulp) and chickpeas. Through traditional mushroom fermentation, we elevate 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.
