Funghi Protein Patties
The Core Ingredient Used by Nature’s Fynd Comes from Geysers
Laura McQuarrie — January 20, 2022Nature’s Fynd is a Chicago-based start-up that's backed by Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, and it sets itself apart within the plant-based meat and cheese alternative category thanks to a unique ingredient. The brand cultivates microbes from Yellowstone National Park geysers via a biomass fermentation process. Karuna Rawal, Nature’s Fynd CMO told Green Queen, "Our proprietary liquid air interface fermentation technology is a unique type of biomass fermentation where we grow biomass on top of a liquid surface rather than submerged in the liquid or on top of a solid." Biomass fermentation uses 99% less land, 99% less water, and emits 94% fewer greenhouse gases than processing traditional beef.
Some of the meatless and dairy-free products made by Nature’s Fynd include breakfast patties and cream cheese.
