Yumbini is a woman-owned business based in Oakland, California. Yumbini’s mission is to provide convenient, healthy foods, that are mindful of the earth’s resources and accessible to everyone, with the power to transform our health, our lives and our world.
After 40 years as a Certified Food Scientist, Jan Matsuno started Yumbini. Jan started with beans and rice because she has always loved them - they taste great and are great for you! Nearly every culture around the world eats some version of beans and rice. There are endless flavor and recipe combinations, and they are naturally nutritious - no artificial fortification, GMOs, additives or preservatives needed!
The beans and rice in Yumbini are pre-cooked and dried (“dehydrated”). Nothing is removed except water. The result is a product that is lightweight, shelf stable without preservatives, and needs no refrigeration.
