As visitors explore the Exhibit Hall at the 2025 General Conference Session, they’re met not only with eye-catching displays and thoughtful conversation, but also with opportunities to sample plant-based milks, snacks, and innovative meat alternatives.

From Ghana to Brazil to South Korea, Adventist-owned food companies are turning nutrition into mission, offering delicious, wholesome bites and a glimpse into how food can fund schools, empower communities, and inspire faith.

A Cashew with a Cause: The Goodone Story

Nestled among the vibrant booths of the GC Exhibit Hall, Goodone Cashews stands out—not just for its fresh, lightly salted snacks, but for its mission. Fully owned by ADRA, this social enterprise brings Ghana-grown cashews from farm to package and market without ever leaving the country. The result? Fresher flavor and deeper impact at the personal, community, and national level.

In most global supply chains, Ghana’s cashews are shipped thousands of miles to be processed abroad. Goodone flips that model by processing and packaging everything locally, empowering farmers to retain more of the value they create. This is not charity. It’s true development.

And the impact is tangible. One mother shared how selling her cashews at a premium price allowed her to buy a soya machine for her daughter, helping her start a small business. Another woman, a grandmother, used her income to expand her farm and send her grandchildren to school. In one predominantly Adventist village, church members tasted roasted cashews for the first time.

“They held them in their hands like a treasure,” recalled an ADRA team member. “It was the first time they’d tasted the fruit of their labor.”

Through ADRA’s long-term presence in Ghana, more than 400,000 cashew trees have been planted and 14,700 farmers trained—some even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. With every bag of Goodone cashews, buyers support a mission built on dignity, sustainability, and shared prosperity.

And, yes, the cashews are delicious: GMO free, oil free, vegan, and lightly sprinkled with pink Himalayan salt. But their richest flavor lies in the story they carry.

A Century of Plant-Based Passion: Superbom’s Mission from Brazil

With vibrant packaging and samples flown in from Brazil, the Superbom booth adds a colorful, flavorful note to the GC Exhibit Hall. Founded by church members, the company recently celebrated 100 years of promoting health through plant-based foods and drinks—a legacy deeply rooted in Adventist values.

Superbom began with a simple but powerful mission: to provide nutritious, meat-free alternatives in a culture where meat was central to daily meals. Today, the company continues to create plant-based versions of beloved classics—burgers, deli slices, and even Easter specialties—crafted with care, flavor, and health in mind.

While Superbom products aren’t yet available internationally, their presence at GC Session is about more than sales. It’s about sharing a vision.

“Our company exists to promote health through food, but also to honor our Adventist heritage,” explained a representative. “We believe food can be joyful, comforting, and still good for the body and the planet.”

From honey alternatives to coffee replacements, the booth reflects a growing global movement of mindful eating. These foods are meant not only to nourish, but to spark meaningful conversations around health, sustainability, and faith. Although the company’s online store currently serves only Brazil, the interest from international visitors shows the potential for global impact.

As the aroma of plant-based samples mingles with laughter and curiosity, one thing becomes clear: Superbom’s story is not just about the past—it’s about nourishing the future.

Find them at booth 2227-3.

More than Soy: Sahmyook Foods Nourishes Bodies and Missions

If you walk past booth 831, you might catch the aroma of soy noodles and drinks. But behind the delicious variety of plant-based products at Sahmyook Foods is a story of education, mission, and generosity that stretches far beyond the kitchen.

Founded in 1982 and operating under Sahmyook University in Korea, the company has one clear purpose: to support Adventist education and student mission work.

“For over 40 years, we've donated our profits, around $70 million, to fund schools and universities,” a representative shared.

“From kindergarten through university, our goal is to support students and train them for mission through education.”

Sahmyook Foods now exports to more than 30 countries, including Australia, Canada, the U.S., and several nations in Asia and South America. Although European regulations pose some challenges, the company’s reach continues to grow, thanks to the trust built around their product quality and mission.

Their flagship product? A pure, naturally prepared soy milk, made by boiling whole soybeans and extracting the milk through a traditional, chemical-free method. “We use the most natural process,” the representative explained.

“Unlike industrial methods that isolate protein using chemicals, we simply boil and press.”

With more than 200 products including ramen, soy meats, veggie oils, and organic options, Sahmyook Foods offers a taste of the Adventist healthy lifestyle in every bite. But for them, food is more than nutrition it’s a tool for connection.

“We believe food can open hearts. Through food, people can learn about Jesus. It’s a pathway to a healthier, fuller life—physically and spiritually.”

Visit Sahmyook Foods at booth 831 and taste a mission-driven legacy, one soybean at a time.

Whether it’s the dignity baked into a bag of cashews, the joy of a century-old plant-based recipe, or the mission-driven purity of soy milk, the Exhibit Hall at GC Session 2025 proves one thing: in Adventist culture, food is never just food. It’s connection. It’s health. It’s hope on a plate.
