Making meat from plants wouldn't be possible without science. We have a diverse team of physicians, physicists, biochemists, and food developers who help bring us closer to achieving our mission every day.
Our approach? We use science to understand what makes meat taste, smell, and feel the way it does, and sensory tests to understand what people love most. This means looking at proteins, textures, and flavours at a molecular level and finding plant ingredients that behave the same way.
One of our first key discoveries was that heme -- a molecule found in all plants and animals -- is the magic ingredient that makes meat taste “like meat.” Our Research & Development team works hard every day to make new, delicious discoveries.
After all, animals aren't getting better at making meat. And we’re getting better at it every day.
