The global market for meat alternatives is booming; fuelled by consumers switching to vegan or vegetarian diets, as well as cutting back on meat due to its negative impact on the climate. Heura is a plant-based startup producing a wide range of meat alternatives, with products ranging from plant-based 'chicken' to non-meat 'sausages'.
Founded in 2017, Heura stands out from other meat alternative brands - such as the established Quorn and Beyond Meat - with a model based on 'Mediterranean culinary heritage'. Its products are short-labelled and highly nutritional, dodging the reputation that meat alternatives are unhealthy due to large amounts of additives, saturated fats and synthetic nutrients.
With the sector booming, Heura has expanded to reach thousands of locations in over 20 countries, and has invested heavily in research and development - which had culminated in it bringing its products to the seafood category. With the announcement of a new patent-pending technology that claims to produce plant-based foods with previously unattainable nutritional values, alongside significant funding and the promise of profitability soon, the company's future certainly seems bright.
