Is Fungi The Future Of Bacon? We Tasted Libre Foods’ Animal-Free Rashers To Find Out
greenqueen.com ^

Posted on 11/30/2021 8:09:38 AM PST by mylife

Barcelona-based biotech company Libre Foods has announced its first foray into the world of fungi-based whole-cut meats, with an animal-free bacon designed to captivate meat eaters. Having showcased the rashers at a private tasting event in Barcelona, feedback is being used to push commercial roll-out in early 2022.

Libre Foods has announced a fungi-based bacon product created using fermentation (precision) technology. It is designed to meet the growing EU demand for pork, currently a $53 billion industry, that offers an alternative to the disadvantages of commercial pig farming. The fungi bacon was unveiled to investors and food-tech community members at Libre Haus in Barcelona last week.

Founder and CEO Alan Iván Ramos told Green Queen Media: “Libre exists out of impact. Not many people know this, yet pork is the second-largest market category globally behind beef and the sole largest in Europe. Moreover, bacon is often the product that meat-eaters refuse to give up. We’re out to change that, starting with our Libre Bacon.”

Bacon first, steak to follow With a successful pre-seed round closed earlier this year, which saw Sustainable Food Ventures and Good Seed Ventures coming onboard, Libre Foods has been pressing ahead with creating animal-free proteins. In April, Green Queen reported that Libre Foods was hoping to develop a whole-cut beef steak using fungi fermentation technology, but the company has pivoted to bacon after developing a deeper understanding of the intricacies at play.

“We realised just how complex a steak really was, so we want to take all the right steps to make sure that we do it well, focusing on all the learnings we obtain from our initial pipeline to bring them all together for our signature product, our Libre Steak,” said Ramos.

There are many things on this planet, many man made, that make people puke.

Why do they have to disguise fungi as meat? Why not market fungi as fungi? Tagliatelle con funghi (noodles with fungi; aka mushrooms) is delicious.

Look. Meat is chocked full of more nutrients that an animal has already digested. It is nutrient dense food. All plants are loaded with their own natural pesticide, called oxalate, to deter insects from eating it. Poison Ivy is oxalate. Spinach has 8000 mg of oxalate and can send someone with digestion problems to the hospital. Nearly all plants have poisons in them which is a very well kept secret. That is why plants are boiled, pressure cooked, etc. But you can not remove oxalates. Moreover, your thyroid needs fat to make hormone and getting that fat from plants can cause problems. Fat from bacon is perfect. The plant communists want to make us docile, obedient, weak, sick. Meat is acidic and plants are alkaline. But you can eat meat and take potassium bicarbonate to reduce the acidity.

Hmmm, a cat, a hat, a shotgun, a bushel of large green zucchini’s, and a half naked man who’s shorts might be a bit too revealing. Exactly what was the message here? LOL

“designed to captivate meat eaters.”

Any meat eater who falls for and supports this is a traitor.

Amen & Amen!!!

My quality of life skyrocketed for the better when I eliminated plants, sugar & carbs from my diet! Been thriving as a meat & water only Carnivore for 1233 consecutive days with a lifetime left to go. Every aspect of my life has been positively transformed by living this way.
