# Asian Plant-Based Jerky UNLIMEAT is the First Korean-Made Asian Flavor Plant-Based Jerky By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2022-05-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlimeat-jerky References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/unlimeat-plant-based-jerky-begins-crowdfunding-on-kickstarter-301543278.html) & [unlimeat.co](http://unlimeat.co/)  A new Kickstarter campaign was recently launched for a plant-based meat company from Korea and with it, UNLIMEAT is on a mission to bring its plant-based jerky to the United States. With its crowdfunding campaign, UNLIMEAT is on a mission to introduce its plant-based jerky as the first Korean-made Asian flavor to the US market. UNLIMEAT plant-based jerky sold out immediately on its April launch in Korea and the product is made with ingredients like non-GMO soy protein, wheat protein, and others to replicate the chewy experience of the popular meat snack. UNLIMEAT launched with plant-based Korean BBQ made from upcycled food and since then it has expanded its plant-powered line to include alternatives in the form of pulled pork, mince, burger patties, meatballs, cheese, and dumplings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plant-based Meat Alternatives:** There is a growing demand in the global food market for plant-based meat alternatives that taste, smell, and feel like meat, creating opportunities for companies like UNLIMEAT to innovate in this area. - **Asian-inspired Flavors:** Asian-inspired plant-based jerky flavors, such as those offered by UNLIMEAT, present an opportunity for companies to offer unique and trendy flavors that stand out in the plant-based meat market. - **Sustainable Food Production:** UNLIMEAT's use of upcycled food in its plant-based Korean BBQ and other products illustrates the potential for companies to innovate in sustainable food production methods for plant-based meat alternatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage Industry:** The food and beverage industry can utilize plant-based meat alternatives to capture a growing market of consumers looking for healthy, sustainable, and innovative food options. - **Plant-based Meat Industry:** Companies operating in the plant-based meat industry can expand their product portfolios to include unique and trendy Asian-inspired flavors like those offered by UNLIMEAT. - **Sustainable Food Industry:** The sustainable food industry can leverage UNLIMEAT's use of upcycled food in its products as a model for producing plant-based meat alternatives in a more eco-friendly and responsible manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Korean Plant-Based Proteins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlimeat-2.md) - [Premium Plant-Based Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlimeat.md) - [Plant-Based Korean Cuisine Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-plantbased-meats.md) - [Vegan Korean BBQ Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlimeat-1.md) - [Plant-Based Jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-meat-jerky.md) - [Thai-Style Vegan Jerkies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangkok-bites.md) - [Vegan Mushroom Jerkys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-meati-jerky.md) - [Upcycled Rice Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlimeat-kimbap.md) - [Kimbap Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimbap.md)
