How to get Harvest B in New Zealand.
Australian-made plant-based proteins, now sent direct from Sydney. Shelf-stable, versatile, clean-label TVP (textured vegetable protein) for food service, manufacturers and retailers across Aotearoa. From The Plant Pantry.
What is Harvest B?
Australian-made plant proteins for serious food service.
Harvest B is a Sydney-based plant protein manufacturer operating Australia's first dedicated plant-based meat ingredient facility in Penrith, Western Sydney. Founded in 2020 by Kristi Riordan, Alfred Lo, and Werner Fuggersberger, the company produces textured vegetable proteins (TVP) using soy, pea, wheat, and oat bases.
Their mission is straightforward: create high-quality, affordable plant proteins with superior texture using minimal ingredients. No artificial binders like methylcellulose. No unnecessary fats or oils. Just whole plants and natural spices, shelf-stable and ready to rehydrate or use in bulk meal prep.
Harvest B uses low-moisture extrusion and drying technology that creates a fibrous, spongy texture similar to meat — without the processing chemicals that define many plant-based alternatives. The result is clean-label proteins that absorb marinades beautifully, last for months on the shelf, and cost less than what you'd pay importing equivalents from overseas.
