Alimentos Arawak is a Venezuelan food company operating under the brand HARINANA, specializing in the production of natural, gluten-free food products derived from ancestral ingredients, primarily yuca (cassava) and cambur verde (green banana). Based in Caracas, Venezuela, the company positions itself as a premium brand dedicated to transforming traditional, native ingredients into innovative, nutritious, and flavorful consumer food products.

The company's core product line centers on two foundational ingredients: 100% yuca flour (Harina de Yuca Blanca) and 100% green banana flour (Harina de Cambur Verde). These flours serve both as standalone retail products and as the primary base ingredients across the broader HARINANA product range. The finished goods portfolio includes baked cookies in multiple varieties — Chocolate Chips, Double Chocolate, and Cinnamon & Ginger — all formulated with yuca and green banana flours, coconut oil, and natural sweeteners such as papelón (unrefined cane sugar). Additional product offerings include baked yuca chips, classic yuca chips made with yuca starch and coconut oil, and yuca tortillas incorporating xanthan gum for texture.

All products are formulated to be gluten-free, making them suitable for consumers with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or other dietary sensitivities, as well as health-conscious consumers seeking cleaner, more nutritious everyday food options. The company emphasizes the use of carefully selected, minimally processed, natural ingredients with no apparent use of artificial additives, positioning its lineup as both nutritionally sound and accessible.

Alimentos Arawak targets the Venezuelan domestic market with stated ambitions to expand into international markets. The brand's mission is centered on challenging the perception that healthy eating is bland or restrictive, aiming to make nutritious food enjoyable and practical for a wide consumer base. The company also promotes community engagement and a connection to Venezuela's indigenous food heritage through the use of traditional crops like yuca and green banana.

The HARINANA brand is supported by a recipe content platform featuring applications such as banana cake, banana and yuca pancakes, pan de bono, pizza, and yuca and corn arepas — demonstrating the versatility of its flour products for home and professional bakers. Customer testimonials highlight satisfaction with product quality, flavor, and the absence of post-consumption bloating, suggesting a consumer base that values both taste and digestive wellness.
