About
Ingrediome is a biotech company revolutionizing the food industry by producing real animal muscle proteins using photosynthetic precision fermentation. They copy animal genes and teach microorganisms to create these proteins using carbon dioxide from the air and sunlight as feedstock. This innovative approach aims to deliver tastier, more affordable, and more sustainable meat, dairy, and egg products with a focus on replicating authentic taste and texture, and offering a clean-label product with better nutritional values. Ingrediome's method is reportedly up to 10 times more cost-effective than precision fermentation.
