Helsieni Growkit
Helsieni Growkit empowers people to turn food waste into hyperlocal, fresh mushrooms ready to eat
Helsieni does not build big factories. The team believe that everyday people should be empowered to learn how to produce fresh mushrooms at home, from their own coffee grounds leftovers. For that purpose, Helsieni provides people and companies with highly efficient, affordable low-tech solutions to empower everyone to live more sustainably.
Oyster mushrooms grow on coffee grounds and give a harvest with little effort. Don’t throw away your coffee waste but turn it into hyperlocal, fresh and delicious mushrooms.
The Helsieni Growkit includes everything you need to cultivate mushrooms on used coffee grounds: a bag of spawn, breathable tape and a reusable Growkit. All you need now is to start turning your waste into fresh food.
