About Us

We didn't set out to start a food company. We set out to fix dinner.

We're Preetha and Kri - two friends, two foodies, and two people who got tired of the same frustrating choice every day: eat healthy and sacrifice flavor, or eat something delicious and ignore what's in it.

We grew up in kitchens where food was never just fuel. It was heritage. It was care. It was the thing that brought people to the table... and kept them there. Flavor wasn't an afterthought. It was the whole point.

But somewhere between busy careers, real life, and grocery store shelves packed with salt-first condiments and oil-heavy toppings, that kind of food got harder to make on a regular day.

So, we made Topmi.

We started in a commercial kitchen in Hillsborough, NJ, hand-roasting and filling every single bag ourselves. We know exactly what goes into each one because we put it there.

Topmi starts with a simple idea: the best flavor comes from real ingredients. We take whole lentils that are protein-rich, fiber-packed, and dry roast them in small batches until they turn golden and crunchy. Then we layer in globally inspired spices: tangy tamarind, earthy moringa, and familiar favorites like garlic and basil.

The result? A savory, crunchy topping that adds instant flavor and texture to your food.

No fillers. No junk. No ingredient you can't pronounce.

Sprinkle it on eggs, avocado toast, salads, roasted veggies, or a bowl of rice — and suddenly, a simple meal feels gourmet.

We're just getting started. Come find us at your local farmers market, follow our journey on Instagram at @trytopmi, or grab a bag and tell us what you put it on.

We read every message. Every one.
