Food that makes sense.
We grow mushroom mycelium to create delicious and healthy raw ingredients for meat alternative products. Our mission is to produce nutritious and sustainable foods that appeal to both meat-eaters and vegetarians. We believe in a food system that provides accessible nutrition for everyone while preserving our planet.
So much more than just replacing meat.
Delicious and Natural Taste.
Mushrooms have the natural umami, the satisfying savoury taste that is characteristic of cooked meats and broths. We leverage these natural flavoring compounds in mushrooms to produce foods with honest yet delectable flavor profiles.
Superior Nutrition.
Just like meat, our products provide complete protein with all essential amino acids. Unlike meat, our products are packed with dietary fiber and antioxidants, contain no cholesterol and produced without hormones or antibiotics.
Planet Friendly.
Our process uses significantly less water and land than the traditional meat industry to produce the same amount of protein. We feed the mushroom cells with the side streams of agro- and food industries making our process highly circular and sustainable.
A technology inspired by nature
We look for answers in one of the most efficient and self-sustaining food system that we know: the forest soils. In a natural ecosystem, nutrients are recycled. The waste products are up-cycled by the decomposers in the soils. Fungi’s extensive mycelial network in the soils act as a giant digestive system in forests, making fungi one of the most efficient decomposers on our planet.
Our solution uses the same mycelial cells to up-cycle nutrients in the side-streams of agro- and food industries. These cells grow to yield delicious and nutritious biomass, restoring the circularity to our modern food system.
Our process in a nutshell
1.
We take pieces of mushroom mycelia (roots) and cultivate them in a controlled and optimal environment. These serve as the “seed” for the final biomass we eventually harvest.
2.
We feed the mycelium with side streams of agro-and food industries. In large bioreactors, the mushroom mycelial cells ferment the side streams and multiply. This biological process accumulates delicious and healthy biomass rich in protein and dietary fiber.
3.
The harvested biomass serves as the main raw ingredient for all our products. Our process ends with delicious, healthy and sustainable everyday foods that replace the meat on your plate.
