Our Story:

Good Soul Company (GSC) was inspired by the need to share the milky and sweet taste of the Tigernuts raw snack with the world. Our founder Ony Mgbeahurike grew up snacking on Tigernuts as a young child in Owerri, a bustling city in the eastern parts of Nigeria where he was born. Beyond its rich taste, the Tigernuts which is grown abundantly in many parts of Nigeria (or West Africa), also provides great nutritional value and Good Soul Company is at the forefront of sharing this rich goodness with the rest of the world. Our company is focused on supporting African farmers and processors by helping reduce post-harvest losses as well as connecting them to a world of Tigernut lovers! Good Soul Company intends to expand its product offerings to other TigernNut derivatives and under-commercialized African-grown foods and snacks to amplify the potential of the African agricultural space.
