Mekhala serves up organic and vegan Asian pastes, while empowering their female employees.
Back in 2014, when there was little interest in organic or vegan Asian cooking sauces, Mekhala’s founders blazed new ground with certified organic, vegan, gluten and nut-free Asian cooking pastes and sauces. Today, its products, such as the popular green curry paste and vegan laksa paste, are available in over 1,500 stores in Singapore, Thailand, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and the US. Mekhala’s products are handmade and bottled at their factory in Thailand, where the brand has created a proprietary symbol system based on graphics for their illiterate women employees. It’s also committed to empowering women and youths, with a programme to help Burmese Shan youths.
