BugteinBar

The idea that insects are here to stay is not entirely new, but realizing they can be part of our diet in such a delicious way can still surprise us.

A disruptive snack for those looking to diversify their protein sources, making more conscious and positive choices for the planet.

Easy to carry and amazing to savor anytime.   the value of insects in food products.

Product

Crackers

As the name suggests, these crackers promise all the crunchiness we anticipate. But more than that, they also promise a more sustainable planet.

We use dreche, a byproduct of beer production that is often undervalued, and give it new life by incorporating it into a product that pairs perfectly with a Super Bock.

With a low fat and sugar profile and rich in repurposed ingredients, the result is a snack that is good for us and for the planet.

Product

Seaweed Pastry

An adaptation of an iconic product from the Portuguese gastronomic repertoire — the codfish fritter.

We replaced cod with seaweed from the Portuguese coast, without giving up the taste of the sea. We reinvent tradition, grounded in sustainability and the many benefits of this superfood.

Who said our roots can’t also nourish change?

Product

Eggnot

For all those who have never been able to become vegans because of muffins, sponge cake, or pancakes; or for those who simply want more sustainable options but don’t know where to start.

It could be right here – an egg analog made with seaweed that allows us to maintain our fondness for sweets.

It reaches consumers in powder form, making it very practical to use, just add water in a recipe. A powder that isn’t magical, but will work magic in our favorite desserts.

Product

Spicymayo

Developed in partnership with Casa Mendes Gonçalves.

Spice up the moment with this Spicy Mayonnaise! It’s not a Sacana®, but it has the potential to add a spicy touch to any menu!

Because in Nature nothing is wasted, everything is transformed, together with Casa Mendes Gonçalves, we transformed a byproduct of spicy peppers into a carefully purified and refined extract, an essential ingredient for a mayonnaise that promises to heat up our culinary preparations irresistibly!

Product

A carob ice cream that is as unlikely as it is delicious.
