the possibilities of foods made with plantible.

As the global population keeps growing, our food supply chains fall further and further behind. Our current system of food production is responsible for 26% of global CO₂ emissions, occupies 50% of all habitable land, and uses 70% of all the freshwater on Earth. There are others trying to kick off a food revolution, but their plans rely on small improvements to our problematic supply chains. At Plantible, we started from scratch. Embracing nature, we produce next-generation food ingredients that are nutritious, natural, sustainable, and more delicious than their animal-based and allergen-containing counterparts.

CULTIVATING A GREENER FUTURE

What is Rubi Protein^™?

We all know plants make energy from light using photosynthesis. RuBisCO (Rubi Protein™ as we call it) plays an important role in that process. Since all green plants perform photosynthesis, they all contain Rubi Protein^™! From spinach to kale to lettuce, you’ve been eating Rubi Protein^™ your whole life without even knowing it.
‍

So why haven’t we heard more about the earth’s most abundant source of protein? Until now, you’d have to eat the world’s biggest salad to get a meaningful amount.

We gently take care of our humble lemna plants

Super Plants

We start with the humble but awe-inspiring plant called Lemna, part of the duckweed family and one of the most sustainable, and nutrient-dense plants in the world. This tiny aquatic plant can contains up to 50% protein and growing throughout the year, doubling in biomass every 48-hours in many cases!

Aquafarming

Though lemna floats on the surface of water, its actual water footprint is 10x lower than that of soybeans. We grow the plant in controlled aquafarms that allow for the continuous recycling and retention of fresh water. Our cultivation approach does not require arable land to produce this highly sustainable and versatile protein, allowing us to cultivate it anywhere in the world.

Transformation

Following the harvesting of our plants, we use simple and clean handling steps - milling, filtering and drying - to extract the pure protein from the tiny lemna leaves. The final product is: a colorless, odorless protein we call “Rubi Protein™”.

Indulge

Now the protein can be used to create the food products you love to eat with no compromises. Rubi Protein™ is used to make the world’s best tasting, most nutritious, animal-free and allergen-free baked goods, meat and dairy alternatives, and a host of other clean, sustainable and delicious food and beverage categories!

Rubi benefits

Complete Protein

Unlike other plant proteins, our Rubi contains all 9 essential amino acids in optimal doses for the human body. It has a protein digestibility score of 1 (similar to that of eggs or animal protein).

No Compromises

Rubi is a neutral-flavored, off-white protein that can enhance the texture, nutrition and sensory experience of plant-based meat, dairy, and baked goods -- among many other applications!

Aquafarm to table

We’ve developed a vertically-integrated, completely traceable supply chain with farms that work with, not against, nature.

Regenerative

Unlike traditional farming methods, we don’t need arable land to grow, and we don’t need food to produce food. Our process enhances biodiversity while using minimal natural resources.

Plantible is better for the planet.

Sustainability

Our proprietary process combines the best of biology and technology, allowing us to produce Rubi Protein^™ anywhere in the world, any time of year, with minimal natural resources. This lets us bypass the limitations of traditional food supply chains.

Sustainability Goals

Zero Hunger

By converting non-arable land into agricultural production systems, we can substantially increase the amount of nutrition readily available to the global population.

Global Health

By increasing the availability and accessibility to high quality, animal-free products around the world, we will substantially improve the global population’s health and accessibility to more options.

Clean water

Our aquafarms give us total control over our water flows, which prevents fertilizer run-off in our fresh water streams and improves the quality and the accessibility of drinking water in our communities.

Sustainable Infrastructure

We’re building an innovative and climate-resilient agriculture supply chain that is far less influenced by volatile weather conditions and the desertification of arable land. This allows us to consistently produce nutrition for the global population.

Combating Climate Change

We’re creating the building blocks for a climate positive future of food by reducing our reliance on animal agriculture and rebuilding the food industry to be more sustainable in the process.

Protecting Land and Life

We don’t have to cut down rainforests and destroy animal habitats to feed the world. We can convert non-arable land into food production systems that are not invasive or harmful.
