the story of our products

When Bangin Yussif came to the Netherlands from Syria in 2000, he wondered quickly: “Why do I have to travel all the way to Beirut to get some truly delicious bread?” He found the solution by opening a bakery for Lebanese flatbread himself, with the name Almalika – which means queen – a nod to the royal role of bread in every meal. Nowadays, the bakery is called Lika Bakery and they supply the most beautiful flatbread for the Dutch dining table, also at Greenrebel! Lika works with pure ingredients from local sources. All the grain comes from the Netherlands, from an Achterhoek-based miller called Gunnewick. This family business has been processing grain into flour and flour products since 1870 in the flourmill ‘De Vier Winden’.

By partnering with Jailbird Bakery – part of Social Impact Makers – Greenrebel not only wants to offer great and tasty products, but also wants to do something good for people who want to give their lives a new direction. Jailbird offers motivated (ex) prisoners opportunities by learning a real craft. In the prison’s bakery and in the shops, they get a fair chance at a successful return to society.

Doing things right makes for the best flavours. The drinks of Lemonaid & ChariTea are proof of that. This is where they make soft drinks and iced tea as they are meant to be: tasty, flavourful and only made from the very best organic ingredients. The wonderful thing about this collaboration is that we are all working together towards a sustainable and tasty future. In this way, Lemonaid & ChariTea ensures that both consumer and producer get the best. As they say: “Changing the world, drop by drop – drinking helps.”

At Greenrebel, we make plant-based comfort food accessible to everyone, and that of course includes fries! Ours come from FrietHoes; the maker of the most delicious fresh fries prepared in the traditional way. No silly additives of coatings or gas filled packaging, just potato and sunflower oil. Delicious without any fuss.
