The Story

The origins of Chakalaka date back to South Africa’s townships during the 1950s and 60s, where miners and others created a hearty dish using simple ingredients—baked beans, vegetables, and spices. This dish became a symbol of unity and resourcefulness, and over time, it evolved into a beloved meal throughout Southern Africa.

Chakalaka isn’t just about good food—it’s about creating experiences that bring people together. Whether you’re introducing your friends to a new dish, cooking for your family, or enjoying it solo, Chakalaka brings excitement to every meal. Chakalaka Brands' dry mix offers a versatility and ease of preparation to make it a must-have in any kitchen, and its commitment to health and sustainability means you can feel good about every bite.

“It’s the incredible blend of flavors, where the natural sweetness of southern baked beans meets the rich, savory spices of Southern Africa. From the first bite, this dish captures your taste buds with its unique and complex taste. But Chakalaka isn’t just about flavor—it’s also packed with health benefits. Chakalaka is non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free.”
