World’s first’ plant-based steak marbled with sunflower oil

The sunflower oil helps achieve the marbling texture backed with new technology to make up the $150 price. “We now have a machine that enables us full control over fibre alignment (texture), intramuscular fat structure (marbling), flavours, aromas, and other meat parameters” said Juicy Marbles’ microbiologist, Luka Sincek. The plant-based steak’s main ingredients are soy and wheat protein, unsaturated sunflower seed oil, beetroot colouring and natural flavours and aromas. Read more here
