We are a plant-based food company who are operating restaurants as well as providing Asian taste plant-based meats alternative. As a manifestation of a conscious eating movement, we believe that what we eat directly impacts our health, animal & farmers’ welfare, and environmental sustainability. Burgreens started very humbly in November 2013 by a young vegetarian couple – Max & Helga – who are passionate about making healthy, ethical, and sustainable lifestyle mainstream in their hometown; while testing a social enterprise model that marries positive social impact and financial sustainability.
What started as Jakarta’s first organic healthy plant-based eatery & catering – has now grown into a community-based social business connecting local farmers, a passionate team, and conscious customers to bring great tasting plant-based meals for everyone.
Since the very beginning, our mission is to make healthy, ethical, and sustainable food to be delicious, fun, convenient, and accessible for everyone - while empowering local farmers and women through a responsible supply chain!
- NUTRITIONALLY BALANCED. All of our menus are designed based on the nutritional understanding of the Alkaline Diet by Chef Max Mandias. All menus contain natural fibers, plant-based protein, complex carbs, and good fat in balance.
- HONEST INGREDIENTS. We pride ourselves in being transparent to our beloved customers. What you see on our ingredient list is what you eat. TASTE Healthy food should be tasty! It’s the main principle at Burgreens Kitchen.
- WHOLE-FOOD PLANT-BASED. All of our menu are plant based for your better health, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability.
- REFINED SUGAR-FREE. Most of our products are sugar free. When needed, we use small amount of lontar nectar, organic cane sugar or dates.
- WHOLE FOOD CARBS. We opt for wholesome carbs such as vegetables, fruits, locally made gluten-free flour, whole-wheat flour, unbleached all purpose flour, brown rice, and red rice.
- HOMEMADE FROM SCRATCH. Our carefully chosen partners along with us make all the food from scratch to ensure that all your meals are free from MSG & chemical flavour enhancers, preservatives, colourings, and toxic food chemicals.
- COCONUT OIL FOR COOKING & DRESSINGS. We use cold-pressed, virgin coconut oil for our salad dressings and cooking, as coconut oil is the safest oil to be heated (highest temperature resistance and smoke point).
- SEA SALT IN SMALL AMOUNT. We only use small amount of local sea salt and liquid amino (healthiest version of soy sauce) to spice up our menu. The key to the great taste? Local herbs.
- YET TASTE SO NAUGHTY. We omit all the bad and keep the good stuff, and our products taste so yummy and umami!
