NUTRITION GUIDE | 2023
ou believe that food
has the power to
change the world.
e want to feed the
world with nutritious
protein forever.
We at Meati are committed to providing food that makes people feel good about the choices
they are making for their families and their futures. To accomplish that goal, we spent years
exploring promising sources of remarkable nourishment and working with top chefs to craft a
tasty, wildly nutritious protein that we believe will help you build healthy diets that account
for people's busy schedules, demands for deliciousness, and concerns about sustainability.
Amid the many alternative meats flooding supermarket shelves, Meati stands out for being a
whole-cut option made of 95% mushroom root (also known as mycelium) that can take a
starring role in the center of the plate. Our food's one-of-a-kind nutritional profile may make
it tempting to call it a "super-protein." It doesn't just provide significant protein and other
benefits of animal-based options, it also delivers the fiber, vitamins, you normally find in
plants. And it does all this with no cholesterol or sugar. As an example, our Classic Cutlet
provides 17 grams of complete protein and 8 grams of fiber. It is also a good source of iron,
zinc, B vitamins, and other essential nutrients.
We believe that nutritional profile and other aspects of Meati make it an island of good energy
in the ocean of 40,000 to 50,000 products filling supermarkets today¹. Its taste and texture
will leave meat eaters and vegetarians alike hungry for more. It can rest safely in freezers for
a year, and can be cooked in all kinds of ways in minutes, and easily absorb people's favorite
flavors. And as people become increasingly concerned³ with the connections between food
systems and the environment — and the dependence of individual health on the broader
health of our societies and planet — Meati provides peace of mind in spades. Our mushroom
root's simple, low-resource growth process makes it a far more viable way to get essential,
protein-rich nutrition to billions of people. The production method is highly scalable, and when
our first state-of-the-art production facility starts going online later this year, we'll begin to
hit the efficiencies that unlock the vast distribution and affordable prices that ensure
accessibility.
This guide is a peek into Meati, and I hope it makes it easy for you to consider our food as
another tool you can use to help people build healthy diets. Thank you for learning more about
our mission to provide nutritious, delicious, sustainable, and affordable food to everyone
around the globe, forever. If you're eager to dive even deeper into the details, you'll be happy
to hear that we're putting together a team of academic advisors to research and report on
every aspect of our mushroom root's incredible nutrition profile. In the meantime, if you have
any questions, please send them to our team at [email protected]. I look forward to
hearing from you and learning more about how we can work together to make the world
healthier in every way.
Best,

Meati?
NUTRITIONAL GUIDE
Meati products are made of at least
95% mushroom root, also known as
mycelium, which results in a
nutrient-dense whole cut. Mycelium
is a bundle of branching fungi
filaments that has helped feed
human beings for centuries.
Just like a tree’s roots, the
thread-like structures that
underpin mushrooms seek out
nutrients. You can find mushroom
root in forest floors, in the ocean, in
farmer’s soil, and just about
anywhere this miraculously
adaptable living network can find
energy to drive its growth.
We convert this mycelium into a
complete, whole-cut protein that
ends up free of sugar and
cholesterol, and is packed with
fiber, minerals and vitamins.
The result? Meati products contain
15-17 grams of complete protein, 8
grams of fiber, and only 110-190
calories per serving.
Meati includes iron, zinc and
vitamin B12 like cooked steak and
chicken.
Meati is a complete, animal-free
protein that contains no gluten,
GMO ingredients or the 9 most
common allergens. These include
wheat, milk, soy, egg, peanuts, tree
nuts (coconut included), fish,
crustacean shellfish, and sesame.

THE FINAL CUT: A
NEW WHOLE FOOD
We harvest our whole,
mushroom root protein,
press it to remove water,
and then apply seasoning
and other natural flavors.
We serve up to you a
whole food that is 95%
mushroom root, a
complete protein, and is
full of fiber and other
essential nutrients found
in animal protein like iron,
B vitamins, and zinc.
DELICIOUS.
GOOD ENERGY™.
FOR EVERYONE.
As versatile as it is delicious,
we take pride in making
Meati accessible to
everyone — from grocery
stores to local restaurants.
Meati provides a juicy,
tender, and animal-free,
whole-food protein to add to
your favorite dishes.
STARTING WITH
NATURE. ALWAYS.
We start with the spore of
mushroom root, which has
a long heritage of use in
food and can be found
worldwide.
NOURISHING
OUR ROOT
We then take great care
to give it the sustenance
it needs — purified
Rocky Mountain H20,
nutrients typically found
in soil, and fuel in the
form of sugar. That's it.
THE RIGHT
CONDITIONS
After years of research, we
discovered the ideal
environment for our
mushroom root to grow and
thrive. We now know the right
temperature, fuel, and
nutrients to help our root
grow efficiently.
OUR RANCH
The Meati “Ranch” was built
leveraging similar practices
used to make beer and cheese.
We grow our animal-free whole
food in a “clean environment”
which does not require the use
of pesticides, growth
hormones, or antibiotics,
unlike some purveyors of
traditional meat. In fact, there
are also no cages required,
only stainless steel tanks.

According to Harvard, red meat tends to raise levels of
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL)¹. Additionally,
the FDA has confirmed that diets high in saturated fat
and cholesterol are associated with increased levels of
LDL-cholesterol and, thus, with increased risk of
coronary heart disease².
The Classic Cutlet and Steak contain zero saturated
fat, zero trans fats, zero cholesterol, and zero sugar
with 110-120 calories per serving.
You get to experience the taste and satisfaction of eating
red meat without disappointing your nutritionist or
primary physician.
When it comes to sodium — important to health, though
it should not be overdone — we cannot claim zero. Classic
Cutlet has just 240 milligrams, which is how much you
would find in roughly 1/10 of a teaspoon of salt; while
Classic Steak has 150 milligrams³.
