Founded in 2021, Nth Wonder is an Indonesian-based food technology company dedicated to unlocking the full potential of the Indonesian Kenari nut — building a regenerative, circular model with versatile food and cosmetics applications.
Our planet needs our help. And that can seem overwhelming — but nothing worthwhile is supposed to be easy. We believe every person on earth can contribute to making our home better. We believe we can nurture nature as nature has nurtured us.
Our journey started with a simple belief: healthier food for a healthier planet. That's why we created Nth Wonder — a regenerative, vegan, dairy-alternative food company dedicated to protecting our forests and planting more trees, built on an ingredient that has fed local communities in Indonesia for centuries.
The Kenari nut is extraordinary: grown without pesticides, fertilizers, or irrigation; rich in healthy fats, Vitamin E, protein, and essential amino acids; fully circular in its processing; and capable of sequestering approximately 10 tons of CO₂ per tree per year. It was, until we built Selvato, almost entirely unknown to the world beyond Indonesia.
