Shiru

Since our founding in 2019, we've hired a world-class team, partnered with some of the world's top food conglomerates, and created Flourish(TM), our game-changing ingredient discovery platform powered by AI. 

We decided it was time to redesign our website to reflect the tremendous progress we've made -- and the enormous opportunities ahead. 

Shiru.com is the primary portal into our company -- our story, our values, and our mission to make sustainable and delicious foods ubiquitous. We’ll keep adding new content as our growth trajectory accelerates. Tell us what you think.

We're sizzling to share our latest mention in Protein Production Technology International's October/November 2023 edition, featuring an interview of our Founder & CEO, Jasmin Hume, PhD, alongside several of our peers revolutionizing taste and texture in the meatless industry.

Consumers commonly complain that plant-based meats' taste and texture don't match conventional meat. That's because the plant-based oils, such as coconut and palm oil, currently used in such products don't sear or brown in the same way that animal fat does.

Shiru's OleoPro ingredient is our way of reaching that "holy grail." OleoPro is a plant protein scaffold that turns liquid plant oils into a structured fat, delivering the juicy mouthfeel you'd expect out of animal fat. The best part is that OleoPro is made with plant-based ingredients that are safe and commercially available, allowing us a quick path to market.

Thank you to Kieran Crorkin 🌱, Nick Bradley 🌱🥩, and David W Smith for the feature, and cheers to our peers mentioned!

Shiru is thrilled to be a part of The Good Food Institute's flagship gathering, Good Food Conference: Path to 2030, this year on September 20. Our Chief Product Officer, Jason Voogt, will be taking the stage with Chiara Cecchini from Savor, Yulin Lu from Yali Bio, and Shigeki Sugii from ImpacFat to discuss the commercial innovation of alternative fat ingredients.

Looking forward to convening with a diversity of people representing different parts of the alternative protein industry, all working towards the same goal of transforming food for the better!
