'Eighth Day Foods,' the Australia-based food innovation company, has raised $1 million to scale its production of 'Lupreme.' Lupreme is the brand's in-house plant-based protein made from sweet lupins. The resulting Lupreme protein has both high fibre and high protein, making it into an excellent alternative to meat proteins.
Eighth Day Foods won the 'World Plant Based Food Award' in New York, leading to this highly successful Seed funding round. Using the funds raised, Eighth Day Foods will scale up its Lupreme production to become a large-scale B2B supplier of plant-based foods and ingredients. Eighth Day Foods stated that its Lupreme can be used by businesses to manufacture their own plant-based products. This is a different approach than supplying ready-to-eat foods as it allows for unique business innovations.
