About us

Burung means "forest" in a local dialect spoken by one of the Northeastern tribes of India. As founders who grew up in the lap of nature, surrounded by forests, we witnessed how the people of the Northeast have always depended on natural and organic forest resources for their food and overall nourishment.

Living in the lush greenery of Northeast India, we breathe pure air, drink clean water, and eat natural food — the kind of food our bodies truly need: rich in fiber, low in carbs, and high in protein.

This led us to a realization: the rest of the world deserves to experience this kind of pure, nourishing food. While we cannot give the world our air or water, we asked ourselves — why not share our food?

And that is what sparked the idea behind Burung Foods.

Northeast India is blessed with an abundance of superfoods like green jackfruit, edible native bamboo shoots, and medicinal herbs — all with distinct taste profiles and natural healing properties. Despite their potential, these resources remain largely underutilized.

At Burung Foods, we are on a mission to bring these hidden treasures from the forest to the rest of the world.

Our products are the result of continuous research and development, backed by both science and traditional knowledge. We source our raw materials directly from local farmers, supporting their livelihoods in the process. Most of our workforce comprises local tribal women, which is our way of contributing to women empowerment.

So when you buy our products, you're not only investing in your own health — you're also supporting the lives of underprivileged, forest-dwelling communities.
