Millow Featured in Sifted: Can mycelium finally become a cheap vegan alternative
Millow has been featured in a recent Sifted article, highlighting how mycelium-based food startups are driving innovation in the alternative protein industry. The piece explores the growing momentum behind sustainable food production and the unique approach Millow is taking to address key challenges in the sector.
A different approach to alternative protein
Unlike conventional fermentation methods that require significant amounts of water and additives, Millow uses solid-state fermentation to produce high-quality, plant-based protein with minimal resource consumption. This method allows for a more sustainable, scalable, and cost-efficient production process, positioning mycelium as a viable alternative to both animal and plant-based proteins.
