A new company, Eaden Project (https://www.projecteaden.com/), based in Berlin is developing a beef alternative using a fiber spinning technology that exists in textiles and other technology industries. Pea protein is “spun” into minute threads and combined with vegetable fats to create a marbled look and texture.
The company states that the process uses 95% land and water resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 85% versus real beef.
Current plant based meats are made using an extrusion process and 3D printing processes are now being developed as well and, of course, there are lab gown meats that have been under development for years now. This fiber spinning technology seems to have promise for volume production as well as making (some of) us forget about real steaks and roasts, while reducing environmental impacts on our world.
Their products are not ready for sale just yet and I did not see target dates on their website, but this is something to keep an eye on for the future. Also, I have to say that the company website does not provide much information, but if the company is successful I am sure you will hear more soon.
