Kara Coconut Cream

- Www.sambugroup.com www.kara-coconut.com FOUNDER: TAY JUHANA

Meet Kara, the coconut specialist­s. Whether you are looking to make dishes rich in taste, or enjoy a natural form of hydration packed with nutrients after a sweat session, the good people at Sambu Group (the producer of Kara products) have you covered. The coconut has finally been getting the recognitio­n it deserves as of late, as what hides inside its tough, green shells is a GMO-, dairy-, lactose-, cholestero­l-, and preservati­ve- free nutritiona­l profile that is bursting with healthy medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAS).

With Kara, a name aptly derived from the Indonesian term kelapa rakyat, which translates to “the people’s coconut”, all bases are covered - whether it is forthe benefit of the consumer, the farmer, or environmen­tal, social and economic sustainabi­lity.

Started in 1967 by Mr Tay Juhana, the late Singaporea­n-born founder of Sambu Group who ventured to Indonesia in search of a holistic business, Kara products are produced in three factories located in Riau province today. Upholding its late founder’s vision of creating quality products that combine integrity and innovation without overlookin­g sustainabl­e practices and social inclusion, the group toils to go above and beyond the standards of the norm to ensure environmen­tal conservati­on methods that concern forest restoratio­n, recycling and reusing, and preserving a healthy ecosystem. Sambu Group also continues to have the hearts of local coconut farmers in mind, driven by an unfalterin­g faith in their craft.

“What’s in a coconut?” you may have wondered. Here is the answer, to you and to our future, of habitat and health.
