New Vegan Meat Startup Focuses on Fungi

A startup called Meati is striving for fungi dominance in the vegan meat industry by using fermented mycelium to develop meat alternatives.

Meati delivers an impressive amount of nutrition, including protein and plenty of fiber. The startup also claims to be lower in sodium and saturated fats than its competition.

Tyler Huggins, the co-founder of Meati, said, “Meati delivers a nutritionally dense whole-food protein but uses a small fraction of the ingredients used in most plant-based meats – the end product is essentially just mycelium with seasoning. We’re excited to begin testing with key customers in early 2022, and from there will strategically scale across channels to make Meati more available and accessible to consumers nationally.”

These mycelium-based products offer delicious and realistic alternatives to real meat, even being able to look and feel like meat when cut or cubed.

This vegan meat is expected to open up the vegan meat market even more, providing customers with more options that are even healthier and more realistic.
