Edonia

Edonia's clean protein ingredient presents a meat-like texture and grilled umami flavor profile, devoid of additives or artificial flavoring. The company acknowledges the sluggish pace of the transition to plant-based diets in addressing the pressing climate crisis. Despite the growing popularity of plant-based alternatives, they often fall short of fulfilling consumers' dietary requirements.

Developers of food products continually confront a dilemma: choosing between blandness and artificial flavors, poor textures and additives, or nutritional deficiencies and synthetic supplements. As the limitations of peas and soy become increasingly evident, consumers are less tolerant of lengthy lists of heavily processed ingredients.

Using a technique termed "edonization," Edonia converts micro-algae biomass into a textured ingredient boasting various organoleptic, nutritional, and environmental attributes. Typically available in powder form with a distinctive flavor, products in the market encounter challenges in appealing to consumers beyond the nutraceutical niche.

Consequently, Edonia advocates for the exploration of more diverse protein sources and advocates for a new generation of cleaner, multi-functional ingredients.
