More About Prime Roots:
Prime Roots is celebrating the culture of meat by reimagining protein itself. Rooted in koji, a mycelium with storied culinary history and reimagined for modern times using a proprietary food technology platform and the power of fermentation, Prime Roots can replicate the taste and texture of any meat or seafood, without any of the environmental costs of animal proteins. The Prime Roots platform is creating the lowest-cost alternative protein solution that is immediately scalable to be able to feed billions of people a sustainable and nutritious source of protein while making large impacts with every bite. Prime Roots utilizes its koji protein platform to first tackle the bulk deli and charcuterie space to make it easier everyday in the humble breakfast and deli sandwich to make simple swaps. Eventually, Prime Roots will create protein products across all food and beverage categories.
