Thank you to AgFunder News for such a comprehensive look at how we're unlocking the potential of the planet's most abundant protein. This article perfectly captures our mission of turning Rubisco, the "utopia protein," into a commercially viable reality. We're grateful for the thoughtful coverage of our path from stealth startup to commercial demonstration stage, now producing tens of tons of products monthly with clear sight lines to hundreds of tons in the next 12 months. Elaine Watson's reporting showcases exactly why we believe Rubisco will become as familiar as whey protein in the next decade! 🚀🌱 #RubiscoProtein #FoodInnovation https://lnkd.in/g6yehTRi

Say hello to Leaft Blade. It's our first consumer product and the fastest, cleanest, most complete protein ever made. Extracted from 50,000 green leaves per serving, it delivers 17g of elite Leaf Rubisco protein that digests up to 6× faster than traditional proteins. But here's what makes it revolutionary: while most people take protein after their workout for recovery, Leaft Blade is designed for before performance happens. When you train hard, your muscles send a "build" signal that works best when amino acids are already in your bloodstream, ready to go. Take it 20 minutes before you exercise to support that critical anabolic window and get more from every session. This isn't just nutrition — it's preparation. Sample packs are now available in New Zealand and the U.S. Read the full story below! #LeaftBlade #PerformanceNutrition #ProactiveProtein

Meet the farmers humbly revolutionizing sustainable agriculture. They're growing our lucerne, a remarkable crop that's been hiding in plain sight for many years. This unassuming plant fixes nitrogen from the air, is efficient with water, grows year after year without replanting, and produces more protein per hectare than almost any other crop on Earth. Real change is happening in our Canterbury fields where farmers work with scientists to advance our food system. Read their story! #SustainableAgriculture #NewZealandFarming #FamilyFarms

Why do we call Leaf Rubisco "the utopia protein?" Because it delivers an amino acid profile superior to whey, setting a new gold standard for high quality protein.
