New Wave Foods makes shrimp from algae
Shrimp made from algae? Take it from the US innovator New Wave Foods.
The company says the new product is a sustainable plant-based shrimp made from algae and other natural ingredients with no animal (or sea animal) products.
The ingredients include soy-based protein. Other protein sources are being tested for future iterations, New Wave Foods says, adding: "The ingredients are natural, Kosher, non-GMO and vegan-friendly".
Moreover, the algae used are "clean, ocean-sourced and farmed micro and macro algae".
"With our new shrimp product, we're taking the middle man out and putting a new product on the market that is delicious, innovative and sustainable", New Wave Foods CEO Dominique Barnes told Deli Market News in an interview.
