OUR CREATION

After years of passionately growing our knowledge, skills and connections, a moment of inspiration gave way to a night-and-day focus on innovation, research and development

The fruits of our work go way beyond our own expectations.

​

Simply put, it’s Lupreme™

We are NOW looking to team up with the right partner(s) who have the facilities, expertise and market reach – so together we can develop Lupreme™ to its full potential with mass market appeal.

If you have the vision, passion and capacity for this journey...

ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

Raising animals for food is one of the major causes of the world's most pressing environmental problems, including global warming, land degradation, air and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity - United Nations

UNSUSTAINABLE LAND USE

Raising livestock for food requires about 80% of the world’s agricultural land yet produces less than 18% of the world’s calories

10 BILLION PEOPLE BY 2050

Without radical change, we will be unable to sustainably feed a global population of 10 billion by 2050

HUMAN HEALTH

The high consumption of both conventional and processed meat has been linked to the alarming levels of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer

ONE IDEAL PLANT - SWEET LUPINS

​

We know of no other protein that tastes as good and is as kind to the planet

​

AN ANCIENT ART - FERMENTATION

​

Our unique fermentation imparts an end-product with optimum taste, mouthfeel, aroma, juiciness and structure

​

​

SUSTAINABLE

From planting to the plate, Lupreme's™ footprint on the planet

is small

Sweet lupins restores and enriches the soil, requires no water and reduces 

GHG emissions

Lupreme's™ natural processing is simple, cost effective and produces little waste

We know of no other protein that tastes

as good and is as kind to the planet

HEALTH GIVING

Lupreme™ is a nutritional powerhouse

It provides 20% protein  with all nine essential amino acids, 15% fibre, is an excellent source of unsaturated fats, low in carbohydrates and almost no salt

​

Lupreme™ is more than the sum of its macros. It brings multiple health benefits, especially for diabetics and those looking to improve cardiovascular health,

maintain a healthy weight or to

optimise their gut health

TASTE & TEXTURE

With its beautiful taste and aroma, Lupreme™ can be cooked and enjoyed in its pure form – as pictured

The natural water-binding properties and unsaturated fats of sweet lupins are further enhanced by traditional fermentation, 

providing the complex moist springy       structure of Lupreme™ 

ULTRA-LOW PROCESSING

Lupreme™ is based on just one ingredient – sweet lupins – utilising the whole kernel,   nothing extracted, nothing added

Traditional solid-state fermentation has been further simplified, minimising nutritional loss throughout the process

VERSATILE

Lupreme™ is “harvested” as a complete block or can be:

​

Moulded to a preferred shape,

thinly sliced,

​

Cooked fresh, pasteurised, chilled or frozen, where it remains shelf-stable

for up to 12 months

​

Flavours and colours can be incorporated pre-fermentation or post, as marinades

or crumbing

SCALABLE

Needing essentially one ingredient, the total raw-product cost is only USD 0.18c per kilogram of Lupreme™ 

Simplified accelerated methodology enables both scalability and potential for localised modular production
