We believe that food has the power to make a positive difference to our planet, our families and our communities.

Sustainability

We define sustainability as the ability of the current generation to meet its needs without compromising future generations. For us, it’s important that the ingredients we choose and the way we produce our food is sustainable for both your health and our environment:

• We incorporate zero-waste principles into every aspect of our business, helping to minimise our production impact on the landfill.
• We ensure that any food waste made during production is composted and that recyclables are directed towards individual recycling streams.
• Our vacuum pack technology helps increase the shelf-life of our products without the use of preservatives and chemicals, prevents avoidable food wastage due to spoilage and is fully recyclable through the Love NZ Soft Plastics recycling scheme.
• Our outer cardboard box is sourced from sustainable forests and is also fully recyclable.

Giving Back

We realise that a business cannot exist in a vacuum or outside a community. We want to make a difference in the community by supporting organisations that do noble work. For every Amino Mantra product purchased, we will donate a portion of the sale towards charitable organisations that promote health, environmental sustainability and animal welfare.

This year, we donate to “Forest and Bird” and “Starship Children’s Hospital and Foundation“.

Nutritionally Complete

Eating a plant based diet can sometimes be a challenge when it comes to getting all your nutritional needs—particularly in the case of amino acids. These small chains of protein so vital for building our DNA cannot be produced by our body and so must be obtained from what we eat. The 9 essential amino acids our body requires can all be found in animal protein, but plant based protein sources are generally missing a few. Most plant based food products on the market contain just one type of plant protein, meaning you’re missing out on the nutrients your body needs.

At Amino Mantra we combine different plant protein sources to ensure every mouthful delivers your 9 essential amino acids. Carefully selecting ingredients for their nutritional value, we combine grains, vegetables, beans and seeds to get the maximum macro-nutrients, resulting in food that’s high in protein, dietary fibre and good fatty acids along with unprocessed carbohydrates.

All Natural

We believe that plant based food can be nutritionally complete and taste amazing without the need to mess with it. We let plants be plants as nature intended, instead of trying to make them into meat alternatives. We treat our ingredients with respect, keeping them in their most natural forms and never adding preservatives, artificial additives or ultra-processed extras.

Hand Crafted

We make food with honesty and integrity and you’ll taste it in our products. From organic sundried tomatoes to spray-free fresh Fijian turmeric, every ingredient is sourced with consideration and care. All our food is hand crafted in small batches by our chef using recognisable ingredients that you can find in your own pantry. From prepping to packing, we pay attention to every detail, ensuring each batch tastes incredible and that every product is made with love and care.

A chef and a food scientist fall in love…

Amino Mantra is founded by husband and wife team, chef Pritesh Kajaria and food scientist Trang Duong-Kajaria.

Through our years of experience in the food industry we’ve seen the negative impacts that our modern eating habits have on our bodies and the environment. After we had our baby, we became determined to make a difference for ourselves and our next generation. We started practicing a zero-waste lifestyle and learned how a plant based diet can not only improve our health and wellbeing, but also leave a lighter footprint on our planet.

Disappointed to discover that many plant based food options on the market were full of processed ingredients such as extracted gluten, texture modified proteins, processed protein isolates and derived gums, we began making our own. Using our combined skills in food science and culinary art, we started to produce delicious, nutritious food that made us feel fantastic.

As time went on, we began to meet more and more people who were looking to move to a plant based diet and recognised their struggle to find healthy, nutritionally complete options. Realising that good food can add value to people’s lives, we became determined to share our products with others. We are proudly handcrafting our plant patties in Auckland and sharing the love for good food with people at farmers’ markets.

And with that, Amino Mantra was born.
