Hey!Hunger

Hey!Hunger is a Bay Area food company founded on the belief that healthy food should be deeply satisfying, flavorful, and nourishing. Created by Marin resident Shireen Khera, the brand draws inspiration from the vegetable-forward meals she grew up eating in India — dishes centered around legumes, nuts, seeds, fresh vegetables, and vibrant spices.

After years working in the tech industry and navigating personal health challenges, Shireen returned to the wholesome foods of her upbringing and began reimagining those flavors in a format designed for modern lifestyles. The result was Hey!Hunger: a line of organic, plant-based Tikka Veggie Patties that combine convenience with nutrient-dense ingredients and bold, comforting flavor.

The brand is also deeply personal, serving as an homage to Shireen’s mother, who believed in the healing power of simple, home-cooked meals made from real ingredients. That philosophy remains at the heart of every product Hey!Hunger creates.

Made in California, the patties feature organic vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and spices including roasted beets, carrots, lentils, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, turmeric, and extra virgin coconut oil. They are vegan, gluten-free, and ultra-low processed, with no soy isolates, fillers, or artificial preservatives.

Designed for versatility as much as nutrition, the patties crisp beautifully in a skillet or oven and can be enjoyed in burgers, wraps, grain bowls, salads, or alongside eggs and avocado for breakfast. Through thoughtful ingredients and globally inspired flavor, Hey!Hunger aims to make plant-forward eating joyful, approachable, and deeply nourishing.
