Edonia grabs €2M to turn microalgae into less bitter-tasting ground meat alternative


The company produces plant-based ingredients from spirulina or chlorella biomass that it claims is more nutritious than meat.

The official launch will be European, and then the startup aims to quickly expand to other continents, like Asia and the United States, through strategic partnerships, Valentin said. The quality of Edonia’s product has already been tested and approved by French R&D chef Laurent Sicre, whose culinary creation and development expertise is recognized by food industry professionals and restaurateurs. In addition to meat alternatives, Valentin said Edo-1 can improve nutrition for other products, including bread, cakes, cream and cereal bars, without impairing the eating experience.
