Taste the Future Press Kit

Solein® is a food from nature, yet one that’s neither plant nor animal: it originates from a natural, non-modified, single-cell organism found in the Nordic nature, which is grown in a fermentation process that utilises air and electricity as its primary resources.

Solein is nutritionally rich and culinarily versatile in its uses. Thanks to its mild taste with just a note of umami, it vanishes into recipes, and it can replace existing proteins in virtually any food while letting those familiar flavors shine through. Solein can be used in a variety of dishes, for example in alternative dairy and meat, different snacks and beverages, noodles and pasta, or breads and spreads. It can also act as a nutritional booster.

A nutritional powerhouse

Solein contains all the nine essential amino acids. It also provides a source of iron and B vitamins. Solein is GMO-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free and vegan. It does not contain known allergens.

A completely new way of producing food

Solein is food grown without traditional agriculture or fossil fuels. It is produced in a bioprocess where natural microbes are fed with ingredients from thin air: carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen. The production is not dependent on climate or weather conditions or water use, and there is a harvest every day.

Therefore, Solein can be produced even in harsh environments where traditional food production is not possible, such as deserts, Arctic areas – or even outer space.

Solein is a novel food which requires regulatory approval before it can be sold in different markets. In September 2022 Solar Foods received a novel food regulatory approval for Solein in Singapore. Now, Solein is also available in the U.S.

Solar Foods is a Finnish food tech company on a mission to disconnect food production from traditional agriculture. Solar Foods has found a completely new way to produce food: The company’s first product, Solein, can be grown all year round independent of arable land, the weather or climate conditions, with minimal water utilisation.

Solar Foods is listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland.
