Ahimi® is an umami-forward alternative to raw tuna that’s delicious, safe, and sustainable. No mercury or PCBs here - just tomatoes and a few other simple ingredients. Ahimi offers all the taste and texture of raw tuna without further depleting wild stocks.
*Please note: Our new Ahimi formulation is gluten-free! But because some of our original product is still in the market, it’s important to ask the chef at any restaurant or sushi counter where you’re buying Ahimi if the version they’re using is gluten-free.
What’s in Ahimi?
We keep it simple. Ahimi is made from five ingredients: tomatoes, gluten-free soy sauce*, sugar, water, and sesame oil.
WHY TUNA?
According to the FAO, virtually all tuna stocks are fully exploited and 43% of tuna are overfished - one of the highest rates of all high-value fish. Fishing for albacore, yellowfin, and other tuna species can cause as much ecological damage as farming pigs and chickens.
And the IUCN actually lists Atlantic Bluefin Tuna as endangered, with its numbers continuing to decrease steadily.
“The Atlantic bluefin is a highly sought-after delicacy for sushi and sashimi in Asia—a single fish has sold for over $1.75 million! Driven by such high prices, fishermen use even more refined techniques to catch tuna. And the fish are disappearing as a result. Although tuna do provide food and livelihoods for people, they are more than just seafood. Tuna are a top predator in the marine food chain, maintaining a balance in the ocean environment.”
