Why it matters

We need a tasty, nutritious and sustainable alternative to meat.

We love the taste of meat. With animal agriculture the leading cause of greenhouse emissions, land degradation and biodiversity loss, and with global meat consumption rising, there needs to be a tasty, nutritious and sustainable alternative.

How it works

V2’s process creates a versatile and animal-free meat patty.

Legumes are harvested and crushed into a mixture that is then filtered, leaving the high quality protein. Fibre from plants like bamboo helps keep the patty together, oil from plants like sunflower gives the patty juiciness, fat from coconut helps the meat sizzle and cook and amino acids responsible for the flavour of meat are added for the final flavour kick.

The WOW factor

The Wow Factor

The animal-free meat can be shaped into mince, sausages and patties, creating a versatile and tasty alternative meat source with 99% less water and land used. With expansions into the alt-chicken space, v2 foods will be transforming animal agirculture, for good.
