TIME TO RE-THINK
WHAT IF IN THE FUTURE...

Rather than the formulation of dozens of highly processed ingredients.
ONE IDEAL PLANT

Rather than complex engineering and intensive processing.
AN ANCIENT ART FOUND IN NATURE
Rather than manufacturing our food.
GROWING OUR FOOD

As the result of a few simple choices, we create a
GREAT-TASTING MEAT ALTERNATIVE

ONE PLANT… FOR THE PLANET



LIFE-GIVING TO THE EARTH
-
Sweet lupins have long been used to regenerate soils.
-
Returns airborne nitrogen into the soil.
-
Releases existing soil phosphate for plants.
-
Significantly reduces GHG emissions and the need for fertilizers.
-
Capable of growing in poor soils, requires no irrigation and are non-GMO.
NUTRITIONAL POWERHOUSE
-
Nature’s richest source of combined protein and fibre.
-
Sweet lupins delivers up to 43% protein, 30% dietary fibre and low carbohydrates.
-
Containing all nine essential amino acids.
-
Excellent source of unsaturated fats, natural emulsifying properties and the lowest GI of any seed regularly consumed by humans.
-
Nutritional properties required to create an excellent plant-based meat alternative.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
-
Extensive research by medical scientists and dietitians confirms that consuming sweet lupins benefit heart and bowel health, diabetes and weight management.
-
Assists diabetics by lowering post-digestion glucose rise and daily mean insulin levels.
-
Improves heart health by lowering blood pressure and LDL cholesterol.
-
Improves bowel health by reducing transit time, lowering the colon pH and acts as a prebiotic.
-
Increases satiety (fullness) and a corresponding lower intake of calories.
ONE PROCESS… NATURALLY FERMENTED

PRECISION PREPARATION
-
Eighth Day Foods has developed a unique precision preparation of the sweet lupin.
-
Retains the full nutritional value and functional qualities.
-
Dramatically improves sensory properties during the fermentation process.
NATURALLY ENHANCED
-
The traditional solid-state fermentation further transforms the complex macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and lipids by naturally breaking them down into simpler forms, enhancing their bioavailability.
-
Our unique fermentation imparts an end-product with optimum taste, mouthfeel, aroma, juiciness, and structure.


ACCELERATED METHODOLOGY
-
Eighth Day Foods has developed a unique accelerated methodology for economical scalable solid-state traditional fermentation.
-
Eliminates many of the most labour-intensive fermentation steps, reducing the total production time by over 60%.
-
Allows higher production and easier scale-up.
-
Minimal water and energy consumption.
