The emission-reduction benefits of shifting to plant-based eating are well documented. Yet many people are still deterred by the taste of plant-based food. Or rather, its lack of taste. Plant-based food is often missing exactly what people crave the most: umami. This is where we come in. We have developed a natural way of using food technology to create plant-based umami from plant food side products. In this way we also tackle another aspect of the food system that we believe needs to be fixed: wasting edible food.
