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.

Questions?

Harvest B FAQ

What's the difference between a shred, strip, and mince?
Shreds are light, fibrous pieces perfect for pulled dishes and Asian-style bowls. Strips are whole, structured pieces for wraps and salads. Mince is finely textured ground-meat substitute for tacos, burgers, and Bolognese. All rehydrate in minutes.
How do I rehydrate Harvest B?
Mix 1 part dry Harvest B with 2 parts hot water or vegetable broth. Let sit for 5–10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid. Use immediately in your dish. The product absorbs flavour beautifully, so consider your broth choice.
Is Harvest B allergen-free?
Harvest B comes in multiple protein bases: soy-based, pea-based, wheat-based, and oat-based. Each product clearly labels its allergens. Soy products are typically made in shared facilities with nuts and sesame. Always check current packaging for specific allergen info before serving to guests with dietary requirements.
Can I use Harvest B in hot dishes, cold dishes, or both?
Both. Rehydrate and pan-fry for warm dishes (stir-fries, curries, pasta sauces). Rehydrate and chill for salads, wraps, and grain bowls. The neutral flavour means it takes on the profile of your dish — Asian, Mediterranean, Mexican — whatever you're building.
What's the shelf life of dry Harvest B?
Unopened, in cool, dry storage: 12+ months. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container. Rehydrated product lasts 3–5 days refrigerated. Freeze for longer storage. This is why bulk food service ordering makes sense — you have time to move the product through your menu.
Do you ship direct to NZ?
Yes. The Plant Pantry handles all Harvest B orders for New Zealand. Contact our team at 02 4062 0947 (AU number; NZ callers use prefix +61) or sales@plantpantry.com.au for freight quotes, GST compliance, and wholesale pricing. Trade accounts available with no minimums.
What's the cost per serving compared to other plant proteins?
Harvest B bulk dry mix works out to ~$2–3 AUD per 100g cooked serving (depending on product and rehydration yield), which is typically half the cost of retail Beyond Meat or Fable packs. Wholesale food service pricing improves that further. Contact us for a custom quote based on your volume.

All Harvest B products are subject to ingredient verification. Always check current packaging for allergen info, nutritional data, and storage instructions before serving. Harvest B is an Australian manufacturer and is not affiliated with The Plant Pantry, but we are an authorised NZ distributor.
