We\u2019re pleased to announce our investment in Health on Plants<\/a>, a company dedicated to producing high-quality plant-based foods. Founded in 2020 by Sweta Khandelwal and Vijay Pandey, Health on Plants began as a solution to the founders’ own dietary needs as vegan endurance athletes. While competing in ultrarunning events across the world, Sweta and Vijay struggled to find nutritious recovery foods suited to an Indian palate. This personal challenge led them to start Health on Plants.<\/p>\r\n

Since then, the company has gained popularity in the market for its flagship tofu, as well as a wider range of nutritious, plant-based, clean-label offerings. What particularly impressed us was their commitment to quality and sustainability. They focus on sourcing the best ingredients and ensure that no harmful preservatives or chemicals are used in the manufacturing process.<\/p>\r\n

They operate a zero-chemical factory, embracing a circular economy approach by repurposing all byproducts as cattle feed and returning clean water to the fields. This focus on sustainable practices aligns with their mission to provide healthy, all-natural food options.<\/p>\r\n

At Rainmatter, we\u2019re excited to be part of their journey as they pursue a vision of a healthier, more sustainable future.<\/p>\r\n

Here\u2019s a note from Vijay Pandey, the co-founder of the company.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Health on Plants<\/h3>\r\n

Health on Plants was born out of a personal quest. As vegan endurance athletes, we struggled
\r\nto find recovery foods that were both nutritious and satisfying. Protein powders didn\u2019t keep
\r\nus full for long, and the tofu available in the market was rubbery and unappetizing. With our
\r\ndeep understanding of sports nutrition, we decided to create our product\u2014something
\r\nfrom scratch that would not only optimally fuel our bodies but also taste amazing. It took us a
\r\nyear to scale it to an industrial level, and it’s been an exciting journey ever since.<\/p>\r\n

<\/h3>\r\n

Innovative processing and product development<\/h3>\r\n

Our manufacturing facility seamlessly blends advanced technology with a personal touch,
\r\nensuring each product is crafted with precision. Over the years, we\u2019ve refined and developed
\r\nproprietary processes that enhance the nutritional value of our products while preserving their
\r\nnatural flavors and textures. These methods are uniquely ours, shaped through ongoing
\r\nimprovement.<\/p>\r\n

Our product range meets a wide variety of dietary needs and culinary preferences. Whether
\r\nit’s firm or extra-firm tofu for grilling and stir-frying or silken tofu for creamy desserts and
\r\ndips, we have something for everyone. We also offer tofu infused with aromatic herbs and
\r\nspices to elevate everyday meals with bold, exciting flavors.<\/p>\r\n

Sustainability and promoting a circular economy<\/h3>\r\n

Sustainability is at the heart of Health on Plants. Our facility is powered by energy sources
\r\nlike wood pellets made from sawdust that leave no ash. After production, we return clean
\r\nwater back to the fields. Even the byproduct of tofu-making, known as okara, which still
\r\ncontains 15% protein, is repurposed as cattle feed, and distributed to local farmers, creating a
\r\ntruly circular economy and generating rural employment in the village where we operate. We
\r\nalso prioritize biodegradable and recyclable materials to minimize waste.<\/p>\r\n

Traceability and Transparency<\/h3>\r\n

We operate a zero-chemical factory. We provide clear, honest information about the
\r\ningredients, and nutritional values of all our products, allowing customers to make informed
\r\nchoices. We are proud to be 100% all-natural. No preservatives, no emulsifiers\u2014nothing but
\r\npure, wholesome goodness in our products. This commitment builds trust and confidence in
\r\nour brand.<\/p>\r\n

Building a healthy and vibrant community<\/h3>\r\n

We stay connected with our customers through social media, where we share recipes,
\r\nnutrition tips, and stories from our farming partners. Many endurance athletes, especially
\r\nlong-distance runners and triathletes, trust our products for their training and recovery, and
\r\nwe’re proud to be a part of their health journey.<\/p>\r\n

We also take part in local events, spreading awareness about the benefits of plant-based
\r\neating and sustainable farming. Through these efforts, we help build a community that values
\r\nboth health and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\r\n

Building trust at the source<\/h3>\r\n

We collaborate closely with a network of soybean growers, providing them with year-round
\r\ncontracts to secure the highest quality crops. By offering competitive prices and long-term
\r\nagreements, we ensure mutual benefit and sustainability. Each year, we conduct independent
\r\nthird-party testing on our products for over 240 parameters, including chemicals, fertilizers,
\r\naflatoxins, and heavy metals, to guarantee exceptional quality. This thorough process
\r\nsupports sustainable agriculture while upholding our strict standards.<\/p>\r\n

Looking ahead<\/h3>\r\n

As Health on Plants continues to grow organically, our commitment to innovation,
\r\nsustainability, and community remains unwavering. We are excited to introduce new
\r\nproducts and collaborate with like-minded partners to make nutritious, sustainable plant-based
\r\nfoods accessible to everyone. Join us on this journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
