A variety of food products are now being made with 3D printing, including an innovative salmon alternative from Austria-based Revo Foods. The 3D-printed salmon is made with vegan ingredients like pea protein and algae oil and its Legendary Vish is touted as "salmon with attitude" and "the future of seafood."
The 3D-printed plant-based seafood is available in two varieties, a smoky filet and a creamy spread, and it's high in protein, omega 3, dietary fibers and Vitamin B12. Impressively, the plant-based salmon is made with just 11 simple ingredients, including plant oils and citrus fibers, in addition to the aforementioned two.
Revo DOods plans to launch its 3D-printed salmon products as of the summer or fall and expand across Europe in 2022.
