Meet the makers
De Pasta Bende consists of companies and organizations with a shared mission to create a shorter (and therefore more local) and waste-free food chain. The members supply residual streams of vegetables & fruits and local grains, from which Sophyn Greens makes delicious artisanal pasta. This way, we ensure that almost no nutrients are lost, and you are sneakily eating a bit more vegetables & fruits.
Additionally, we give a nod to how pasta ‘should be’, setting a new standard together for how pasta ‘can also be’.
More about De Pasta BendeSearoop® is an organic homemade lemonade syrup from Zeeland made with freshly squeezed organic apples, dune herbs, and botanical herbs. Deliciously refreshing with (sparkling) water, in a cocktail or a mocktail, and great as a dressing in a salad.
Searoop is made with care and respect for nature. Having a small footprint is very important to us. Freshly squeezed apple juice is the base of Searoop, which is why this syrup is low in sugar and vegan. Botanical herbs and extracts from dune herbs provide extra layered and unique flavors.

More about KV-TechniekAt Sophyn Greens, vegetables and fruits are central. It’s widely known that vegetables and fruits are healthy, yet we still don’t eat enough of them. By using vegetables and fruits as a base in food products, we unconsciously eat more vegetables and fruits every day.
That’s why at Sophyn Greens they refresh existing products with a handful of fresh vegetables and fruits. Or they develop new products so you can enjoy vegetables and fruits even more often.

In Roman times, salt was extracted from the sea in Zeeland. This grew into a craft in the Middle Ages. After several years of research, salt refinery Zeeuwsche Zoute® is reviving this old tradition. New variants of the ancient product are now available: Pure, Smoked, and in combination with Samphire, Wakame, and Black Garlic.
The Zeeland food sector is working towards the future. We do this together as a network under the name FoodDelta Zeeland. The entire food chain—from raw materials, cultivation & husbandry, processing & manufacturing, to retail & hospitality, and all associated services—can be found in Zeeland. There is a wide variety of food from both the sea and the land. Typically Zeeland.
Together, we have the ambition to further develop Zeeland, with its strong food heritage, into an innovative model region for the future. We achieve this by working collaboratively in an innovation network of companies, knowledge institutions, and governments through an innovation program focused on future themes. Parties both within and outside Zeeland can contribute to this effort: join the future of food!
