NotCo Helping Endangered Species with AI Soup
Grace Mahas — April 18, 2024NotCo is revolutionizing culinary traditions with its innovative AI-powered solution, NotTurtle Soup, designed to preserve endangered species while maintaining cultural culinary practices. Over recent years, the green sea turtle population has dwindled to just 85,000, driven partly by their consumption in traditional dishes like turtle soup. Addressing this, NotCo, a pioneer in food technology, alongside Chef Diego Oka, has introduced a plant-based alternative that mirrors the traditional soup's flavor without utilizing animal products.
Leveraging its proprietary AI, "Giuseppe," NotCo has analyzed thousands of plant species at the molecular level to replicate the authentic taste of turtle soup, effectively eliminating the need for green sea turtle meat. This breakthrough not only supports sustainability but also offers a compassionate option that aligns with modern conservation efforts.
To further promote this sustainable initiative, NotCo is hosting an open online class, inviting culinary professionals and enthusiasts to learn how to prepare this plant-based delicacy, thereby encouraging a shift from traditional animal-based recipes to more sustainable, plant-based options. This initiative is part of NotCo's broader commitment to innovative food solutions that respect both tradition and the environment
