So many proteins, so little time.
The Flourish™ platform uses unconventional methods that lead to surprising ingredient discoveries.
We use conventional and unconventional methods to discover the next generation of sustainable ingredients.
By mining our proprietary database using machine learning and bioinformatics, we find the best protein ingredients for the food industry. The beauty of this is that Flourish™ is constantly getting smarter and functionally richer.
We sweat the science, so that the entire planet can reap the benefits.
Using precision fermentation, Shiru’s scientists create proteins that are exact molecular replicas of plant proteins that meet, or even exceed, the functional and nutritional attributes of those found in animals.
