Nutritious puzos start with the raw ingredients.

Nutritious puzos start with the raw ingredients.

  • Zero antibiotics

  • No chemical additives

  • No tricks

We partner with farmers, fishers, and ranchers who have admirable standards and practices for raising and growing their stock. They avoid overfarming or overfishing by taking the extra steps towards sustainability. Not only is this way of sourcing food safer for you, it’s safer for our planet.

RAW - PUZO Ingredients

Our Principles for Quality & Sustainability

Two ingredients are key to each puzo:
rice and the King of Salt line.

Rice - PUZO Ingredients

Rice

The rice used at PUZO is an Italian-grown variety of Koshihikari, a premium short-grain rice named after the Koshi Province of Japan (in the present-day Hokuriku region).

There, rice cultivation is an old tradition; rice from the area is highly regarded for the advanced milling techniques used.

The characteristics of the grains are exquisite: pearly white color, slightly gelatinous texture, and natural sweetness. Although Koshihikari rice can be eaten alone, it’s perfect for puzos as it complements their many fusion flavors.

Japanese rice farmers brought this popular rice variety to Italy, where it is now cultivated using the same techniques that the Koshi region is famous for. Its cultivation in Europe allows us to source Koshihikari of high quality without costly, polluting ship freighting.

King of Salt

The special ingredient in all puzos is the King of Salt line created by Chef Ralf.

Located 800 meters below ground in Bad Essen, Germany, is an ancient bed of sea salt. Scientists date the area to around 220 million years ago. The ocean water dried out long ago, and the sea salt that remains is unlike any other, high in minerals and with incredible flavor.

With this special sea salt, Chef Ralf uses this special sea salt to infuse flavors into a line of liquid salt sprays. The King of Salt line comes in many flavors and adds a unique quality to any recipe.

Every PUZO recipe features King of Salt, with varieties including King of Salt Asia (sweet and peppery), King of Salt Beer (earthy), and King of Salt Pimpinella Anisum (pastis). Explore our menu descriptions to see which salt is used in each puzo.

their savory King of Salt flavors.

Coconut Blossom Sugar

If sugar could wear capes, then coconut blossom sugar would be wearing a bright, shiny red one. It’s a rich source of minerals (magnesium, potassium, zinc, and iron) and vitamins B and C, plus it contains antioxidants and amino acids. But the real reason we love coconut blossom sugar is that it has a lower glycemic index than other sugars and doesn’t wreak havoc on glucose levels in the blood.

Coconut blossom sugar is extracted from the nectar in coconut tree flower buds. The nectar is carefully heated until caramelized, then dried and crushed to have the consistency of sugar.

Dairy

Dairy ingredients don’t appear often on the PUZO menu.
When we do use dairy, it’s organic and hormone-free.

Eggs - PUZO Ingredients

Eggs

Our egg supplier has been a leader in the poultry farming industry for 80 years. A family-run business in Bavaria, Germany, Eierhof Heigl stands out from their competitors for practicing ethical and sustainable farming methods.

  • Organic production (chickens are raised antibiotic- and hormone-free)

  • Free-range farming

  • Chemical- and pesticide-free soil maintenance

  • Eggs from small group maintenance

  • Brown-colored eggs due to soil conservation and organic production

Thanks to the Eierhof Heigl for their commitment to excellence.

Fruit, Herbs, and Vegetables

Produce used in puzos is grown without harmful
chemicals, pesticides, or additional growth hormones.

Nori Leaves

Dried seaweed is one of the healthiest foods to consume. It’s a rich source of fiber, iron, and iodine and vitamins A, B, C, and E. It is proven to help with thyroid functionality and support good gut health, and it’s chock-full of antioxidants that are good for the heart. That’s not all: Because studies show that nori reduces inflammation, fat levels, and insulin sensitivity, there’s reason to believe it may even help with diabetes.

There are different grades of nori on the market. The lowest grade, classified as the color “green” or letter “D,” delivers few of these health benefits. The texture is also poor. When added to rice, it loses any crispiness, turns gummy, and is tough to chew.

Puzos are served with gold-grade nori leaves, the best grade available. High in nutrition and crispy in texture, they melt in your mouth and provide the perfect flavor balance to our fusion fillings.

For the best dining experience, we recommend waiting to wrap your puzos with nori until right before it’s served.

Pork

All pork products used in puzos are raised by Bavarian ranchers according to the quality-control guidelines of GQ-Bayern (Geprüfte Qualität Bayern). This government-run program oversees the quality of food products grown and raised in Bavaria, Germany, to ensure that healthy, sustainable approaches to raising livestock are followed.

Salmon

For the salmon ceviche puzos, we turned to the experts at Deutsche See, a leader in sustainable aquaculture. From the fisher to the driver to the manager, Deutsche See maintains a commitment to the best quality of fish. The company adheres to stringent quality-control methods, with all fish on the market having passed a thorough multisensory examination (touch, smell, and taste) by experienced controllers.

Thanks to the entire team at Deutsche See for their commitment to excellence.

Shrimp

Outside of Munich, Germany, is a team of urban fishers who raise shrimp according to high ethical and sustainable standards. Their sashimi-grade shrimp is bred without extra chemicals or glazes. In their words, their Bavarian shrimp “is the contemporary way to enjoy seafood: no antibiotics, minimal CO₂ footprint, maximum enjoyment!”

Thanks to the urban fishers at Superior Crusta Nova Seafood for their commitment to excellence.

Tempeh

The tempeh used in the vegan Green God Puzo is organic. Tempeh is a rich plant-based protein made from fermented soybeans. Originating in Indonesia, it is densely packed with protein and has a firm texture that makes it ideal for sautéing or grilling. Flavorful and easy to cook with, it’s our favorite vegan protein!
