Kuleana Plant-Based Tuna Now Available at GTFO It’s Vegan

Plant-based Kuleana Tuna, previously only available at select grocers and restaurants, can now be purchased online at GTFO It’s Vegan. Kuleana is leading the alternative seafood space with sushi-grade tuna made entirely from plants and packed with omega-3 DHA, iron and vitamin B12.

The startup’s eponymous sushi-grade tuna celebrates the ocean with earthly ingredients, including: algae, koji and radish. “We’re providing the next generation of seafood without the environmental consequences,” said Jacek Prus, CEO and co-founder of Kuleana, along with food technologist and co-founder Sonia Hurtado. “Kuleana is seafood that is good for our palate and our planet.”

In addition to its great taste and health benefits, Kuleana Tuna skips the many issues surrounding the fishing industry, such as fish stock endangerment, risky mercury levels and plastic pollution. Further, it has a superior shelf life. Kuleana Tuna keeps for seven days in the fridge and a full 12 months in the freezer, helping to minimize food waste and cleaning up our food system.

“After monitoring tens of thousands of transactions and observing customer purchase patterns on our platform, we believe the next big wave of innovation in plant-based food will come in the category of seafood,” said Marc Pierce, CEO of GTFO It’s Vegan. “We were very excited to find and partner with Kuleana as they truly have a leading-edge plant-based sashimi solution in a category that is rapidly growing. With the taste and texture of this product, we know it will be a winner among our wholesale and retail customers.”
