The meat alternative market is a rapidly developing field of interest among food-tech companies, as they race to find unique approaches that are environmentally friendly, easily manufactured, moderately priced and, most importantly, palatable.
Israeli start-up More Foods has developed a novel form of alternative protein made from pumpkin and sunflower seeds. The company’s technology allows it to use cast-away fragments of seeds produced while making pumpkin seed oil and sunflower seed oil, converting them into a viable meat alternative.
“A large part of what people enjoy eating comes from a sense of familiarity which is sometimes lacking in meat alternatives,” said CEO Leonardo Marcovitz.
