Meati Foods is a food technology company that produces delicious, nutritious, and Earth-friendly nutrition using mushroom root (mycelium) as a sustainable protein source.

Meati Foods

Founded in 2017, Meati Foods is working to unlock a more delicious, nutritious, equitable, and sustainable food system for everyone. Eat Meati™, the debut product line from Meati Foods, features cutlets and steaks made from mushroom root, a whole-food protein cultivated with a modernized version of ancient and natural processes that have helped preserve Earth's ecosystems for millennia. Eat Meati™ made its early retail debut in July 2022 after multiple months of record sellouts through its direct-to-doorstep online shop. A national omni-channel footprint is planned for late 2023. 

We're honored to share that @Food Engineering Magazine has recognized our Mega Ranch as its Sustainable Plant of the Year 2023.

From our water-reuse system to our low-carbon output, sustainability has always been top of mind when it comes to how we grow MushroomRoot and can help reshape our food ecosystem to be more delicious, nutritious, and better for the planet.

Phil Graves has been appointed meati™ CFO, effective immediately. As our CEO and co-founder Tyler Huggins notes, “Phil understands how to drive a purpose-driven enterprise that also delivers on profit, and this ingenuity is invaluable for short-term successes and our long-term mission.”

As we increase availability of our MushroomRoot cuts in 2024 from 3,000 to 10,000 locations, we couldn't be more excited to have Phil on the team helping to guide this critical year of growth.

Welcome, Phil! #letsdothis

Thank you, Elizabeth Crawford and FoodNavigator for sharing the exciting news of our expansion into Target! With this and our recent expansion into Albertsons locations, meati™ cuts are now available in all 50 states! 

The headline really says it all. Thank you to consumers for trying and repeat buying, to retailers and food service partners for being early advocates, and to all of our stakeholders and supporters for seeing something (and tasting) different in meati™. Cheers to a huge year of expansion - bring it, 2024!

Lots of fun and interesting 2024 food and drink trend predictions from Mackenzie Filson for Delish. Our fave, of course... 

"Make room for mushrooms, because they will be everywhere in 2024. As shoppers and chefs are moving further away from alternative meats like Impossible and Beyond, they're focusing on putting the "plant" back in "plant-based" by using mushroom's savory-meaty capabilities, like Meati's line of mushroom-based jerky (pictured), cutlets, bites, and steaks."

Thank you, Frances Largeman-Roth, NBC News and TODAY for recognizing meati™ and the magic and potential of MushroomRoot in your 2024 food and health trends report!

"Mushrooms aren't an unexpected protein source, but using the root in a variety of ways is — and that's the next fungi frontier. Mushroom root is meat-free, nutritious and doesn't require the stabilizers used in many vegan products. The brand Meati sells mushroom root nuggets, steaks, cutlets and jerky, but expect to see it in applications like deli meat, pork, gnocchi and even bread in the future."
