Fabas Foods AG is a female-founded start-up developing bean-based ingredient systems for amazing dairy alternatives. (ltr Anik Thaler, Katharina Pälchen and Lena Rutishauser) All began with Anik during her agricultural studies not understanding, why everyone talked about the power of beans and peas but no one harvesting it. Fabas built up relationships with organic farmers who were willing to try something new: cultivating chickpeas in Switzerland. They started with the production of regional hummus and continued their ambitious work with the development of pre-mixes.   If you are a dairy producer, listen up! Yogurt Pre-Mix offers you a high-quality, plant-based, protein- and nutrient-rich yoghurt alternative. Contact Fabas for samples and co-operations.   We are very proud to have Fabas as one of our members. They are of great value to our community and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you.

Hülsenfrüchte fristen bei uns ein ziemliches Schattendasein. Das Zürcher Start-up Fabas Foods AG versucht dies mit einem unkonventionellen Ansatz zu ändern. Denn: Noch dieses Jahr soll eine Joghurt-Vormischung auf den Markt kommen, die auf Erbsen und Bohnen basiert.♻ Anik Thaler Lena Rutishauser #joghurt #pflanzlich #hülsenfrüchte #landwirtschaft

Das auf Hülsenfrüchte spezialisierte Zürcher Start-up Fabas Foods AG hat in einer Seed-Finanzierungsrunde 1,3 Millionen Franken frisches Kapital gesammelt. In der Pipeline: eine Joghurtvormischung auf Pflanzenbasis. https://lnkd.in/eawB2aXf

For those closely following our journey, you might have caught wind of this, but now it’s finally time to make it official: We’ve closed our 1.3 MCHF Seed Round, bringing the funding to over 3.2 MCHF with previous internal investments and non-dilutive grants! This marks a huge milestone for our small team as it allows us to take a big step toward bringing our innovative product line to the B2B market. Over the past 2 years, we’ve been working on ingredients made of, you’ve guessed it, beans & peas. Our ingredients help food producers to create healthier and tastier plant based products. The first application will launch in the alternative dairy sector by the end of this year – stay tuned for more exciting updates! 🥛 #TheFutureIsBeanBased 🌱✨ A big thank you goes out to our pre-seed angels for their support along the way and to our new investors for believing in our vision as well as to Alain Raymond and Thomas Seiler.

What do a DJ, an innovation manager, a strategic buyer, and a group of ministers, agronomists and food scientists have in common? They all came together on a picturesque Swiss farm today for a very special visit. We had the big honor of hosting FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu and his delegation as they tour Switzerland with the team of Christian Hofer from the Bundesamt für Landwirtschaft BLW. We gathered at the historic Kloster Fahr farm in Zürich, where farmer Andy grows chickpeas for Fabas. Our team showcased Fabas and some of our latest product innovation, sparking a rich discussion on food systems and the vital role of pulses. Despite their importance, Switzerland's current consumption stands at just 2 kg per person per year, far below the recommended 20 kg. #eatmorepulses The consensus? Pulses are key to creating a more resilient agricultural system. While policy changes such as subsidies and import regulations are crucial for driving significant progress, we also emphasized that impactful actions must come from key players in the supply chain. Their decisions have the power to reshape our food systems at scale. Here’s to turning discussions into action! Many thanks for your visit FAO (yes, we do #lovepulses) as well as a special thanks to Helene Renaux from Swiss Food Research | Reto Sager from EVEN | Nicole Ramsebner from IP-SUISSE | Bernhard Koch from Grün Stadt Zürich | and our favorite farmer René Ritter for the insightful discussion.
