How it all started

It all started one day after our son got home after school and mentioned that one of his friend’s asked him where he could buy the Original Bhuja Mix after he tried some. This got us interested and we started making notes on a table napkin! We already knew the ingredients and how Bhuja is made. What got us most interested is when we looked at the ingredients in a bit more detail. It ticked all the healthy options and realised why our parents gave us the stuff! My wife and I have science and chemical engineering backgrounds and have worked in a wide variety of industries. This experience has been invaluable in developing our business.

The scribble on the table napkin was turned into a business plan. “Kadods” Authentic food company was formed and we were on our way. It has taken us over 12 months (lot of Bhuja eating!) to ensure the Original Bhuja Mix was introduced in New Zealand in its authentic style. Tauranga is home to us and we consciously decided to use as many local services as possible to support local businesses. The packaging was designed here in Tauranga and the environment was taken into consideration. “More Bhuja and less packaging”. Our website, also designed by a local company set up by local college student. We do have good local talents! You’d be pleased to know that some key wholesome ingredients and packaging material are sourced from New Zealand as well.

We are very proud of our family heritage and now we can share some of these with you. Kadods Original Bhuja Mix is available in multipacks (lunch box options) and single packs. When next at the supermarket or a Gourmet shop near you, pick up a pack and we can guarantee that once you start you won’t want to stop!
