About UNLIMEAT

UNLIMEAT's products are rich in nutrients and use various by-products that are typically discarded in the food production process, such as rice bran, which is discarded during the process of polishing brown rice, and defatted soybean powder, which is discarded after pressing soybean oil. The company began as an idea for reducing waste by using 'ugly agricultural products' thrown away due to poor product value, such as small size, scratches, and uneven color. UNLIMEAT is the first food tech startup in Korea to develop, manufacture, and sell plant-based meat created with technology that reproduces the texture, juiciness, taste, and flavor of meat. They have the largest factory exclusively producing plant-based meat in Asia.
