The steak of the future may be vegetable - Geeko

The young SavorEat shoot is working to offer a new management solution for large food chains. In particular the Israeli restaurant chain Burgus Burger Bar, writes TheSpoon. The solution ? A combination of vegetable ingredients and 3D printing technology.

And that's the point: printing a vegetable steak ready to eat. “We print a layer, then we cook a layer, print a layer, cook a layer. So in the end, you get something that is ready to be consumed, ”explained the founder of the start-up Rapheli Vizman, to TheSpoon. For her, this technology also offers a high degree of precision for the “cook”. "You can decide if you want it perfectly done, if you want it rare, well cooked. The way you want to do it, ”she explained. The founder specifies that to make these steaks, the firm uses "cellulose to bind a variety of fats and proteins, as well as other tastes and flavors". Cellulose replaces, for example, starch or egg whites. The steak therefore consists of vegetable cellulose, linked to vegetable fats and proteins.

We are already salivating

To start, the young shoot is in full round the table to raise 3.5 million dollars. A food technology investment fund in Israel has already invested $ 1.75 million.

The start-up should test its product in the kitchens of the Israeli chain BBB within a year. "We will market it on a larger scale two years after the end of the financial cycle that we are currently conducting," said Rapheli Vizman.
