The Planted.steak is a new product from the Swiss FoodTech brand formulated with red meat eaters in mind to help them ditch traditional steak in favor of a plant-based alternative.
The plant-based product is crafted with a beef fillet steak as the inspiration and boasts a completely plant-based recipe that's achieved through a fermentation process. The final result is a steak with an impressively tender and juicy texture, while also boasting the signature umami flavor that meat is known for. The plant-based steak features soy protein, rapeseed oil, bean and rice flours, and a proprietary blend of microbial cultures in the recipe.
Planter Co-Founder Pascal Bieri spoke further on the Planted.steak saying, "Our planted.steak is designed to satisfy even the most discerning palate. It’s a true game changer, not only for us but also for the whole category. No other plant-based steak on the market uses only natural ingredients, zero additives and displays features such as juiciness as well as tenderness. In the research and development process, we have worked with over 50 gastronomy professionals to achieve a steak that is literally unreal, in taste, texture, application and overall eating experience.”
