Israeli food-tech start-up SimpliiGood by Algaecore Technologies is set to develop the first commercial smoked salmon analog made from a single ingredient. Whole, fresh spirulina is the ingredient that is set to be used to create this innovative smoked salmon alternative and the algae is produced in the desert in controlled conditions.
The plant-based salmon alternative rivals the look, taste and texture of conventional smoked salmon and it does so without the ocean pollutants that living fish are commonly exposed to. The clean-label seafood alternative, made of 100% pure and minimally processed spirulina boasts 40% complete protein. The finished smoked salmon alternative is anticipated to hit the market by the end of 2023.
