Squee - a second wave alternative protein technology

Miracles can be made with food industry side streams and selected mycoprotein solutions. Squee is a second wave alternative protein technology project, developing food concepts based on patented mycoprotein and food industry sidestreams. This novel concept from Finland mixes flavors of the Arctic Nature and pure Boreal Forests to your plate.

Squee is a food initiative that enables people to enjoy their food without worrying about climate, sustainability, nutrition or health. Squee’s texture gives a good mouth feel, it’s high in fibres and vitamin D, and it is sustainable. Most importantly, it tastes good. Compared to other alt-protein products, Squee concepts have very pronounced mushroom aroma and taste.

Squee team at Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) has developed and patented a mycoprotein technology called Bo’real Technology. Bo’real technology is fed by food grade side streams from the brewery industry. The secret of Bo’real technology resides in the biofermentation of brewery grains into high protein content meals.

The hero of the transformation is a gourmet fungal strain – Saimaa. Saimaa grows within the food ingredients and connects all the nutrients and flavors into one meal. These new technologies create concepts that are fueled by the organic signature mycoprotein, and tastes of pure forests.

Squee is a Research to Business project of Natural Resources Institute Finland funded by Business Finland.
