[Revo Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minced-fungi-protein) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanbean-products) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-family-pet-food) 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.”
