since 2019, We are on a mission
to make our food systems of tomorrow resilient by diversifying the plants we eat.
Talmond is a female-led Ghanaian-based company that is focused on developing the alternative protein landscape in Sub-Saharan Africa.
We are transforming the climate- and water-resilient neglected tropical almond and fonio grain into novel plant-based dairy milk alternatives into different unique flavours from Ghana for the home and global market, among other product lines.

100% unique flavors
The tropical almond and fonio are considered super foods that are protein-rich, gluten-free, micronutrient-rich, drought tolerant, but largely forgotten. By focusing on minor crops, Talmond is reintroducing them into our everyday food systems, thereby diversifying the plants we eat. This has the potential to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers and turn Ghana and Africa into consumers of its own produce and not just a producer of raw materials.
