50% Surplus
From waste to nutrition and flavour
South Africa wastes about 10 million tonnes of food every year.
What if we could turn surplus into nutritious and delicious products?
‘50% Surplus’ is a Local South product line that aims to:
– Ensure that at least 50% of every product is made from surplus.
– Transform food surplus as the basis for a zero-waste future in the Global South.
Okara
Okara is the pulp that remains from making soy milk and tofu. It is high in fibre and protein – the perfect ingredient to supplement a range of products!
We have already tested a range of early product concepts using Okara and developed a series of partnerships with universities, companies and others.
