Revo Foods THE PRIME CUT has been created by the Austrian food tech startup as a functional food option that's meant to complement existing protein types and satisfy health-conscious consumers. The product is described as being of the plant-based 3.0 generation with a recipe that's made with mycoprotein that doesn't require extensive processing to work well for clean label food varieties. The product has a naturally umami flavor that's rich in fiber, while also being high in protein and vitamins yet low in carbohydrates and cholesterol.
Head of Food Tech Niccolò Galizzi spoke on the Revo Foods THE PRIME CUT saying, "Most plant-based products still live in a meat-vs-vegan world. We wanted to move beyond that, by stopping copying and starting to create. THE PRIME CUT isn’t here to replace steak — it’s built to fuel people who want to live longer, think clearer, and move better. We believe the next generation of food shouldn’t be about replacement — it should be about enhancement.”
