TerViva is a food ingredients company that produces plant protein and vegetable oil from the pongamia tree.

The company, which is committed to create carbon-negative food products, makes use of the pongamia tree’s ability to sequester carbon as it grows. The tree also creates beans that produce protein and oil that are nutritious and functionally comparable to soy, palm, and yellow pea.
