There’s another Aussie player in the plant-based meat race, with Nourish Ingredients raising $11 million in seed funding to develop its animal-free fats, designed to make alternative proteins taste and feel a little more like the real thing. Founded in 2019 by former CSIRO scientists Dr James Petrie and Dr Ben Leita, Nourish Ingredients uses a fermentation process to create fat compounds comparable to those found in animal products.
