Planetary Kitchen - Vancouver

At KULA, which means “to eat” in Kiswahili, we prioritize conscious sustainability and the love for nourishing our communities. Our products, featuring delicious plant-based proteins and dynamic sauces, are 100% Vegan, Gluten-Free, and crafted without added sugar to ensure everyone can enjoy them with ease. Founded in 2018 by Asha Wheeldon, KULA emerged from her multicultural journey, deeply rooted in her Kenyan upbringing and enriched by experiences in Toronto and British Columbia. In Vancouver, Asha sought food and flavors reminiscent of her home and was inspired to share her East-African family recipes. What began as a quest for connection evolved into KULA Foods—a haven for inclusive community stories and sensational nourishment. Our mission is built on the pillars of sustainability, community, and accessibility, bringing people together through the sheer joy of Afro-Caribbean meals. We acknowledge the ancestral lands on which we operate and are dedicated to contributing to the decolonization of our systems. At KULA, we strive to center the liberation of Indigenous, Black, and People Of Colour, creating a space where everyone feels welcome and valued. Join us and let’s KULA together! Experience the vibrant flavors from our kitchen and be part of a movement that nourishes both body and planet.
