Our protein begins with a strain of baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), the remarkable microorganism that has been a trusted part of our food system for thousands of years in bread and beverages. Instead of a field, we cultivate our yeast in a pure, controlled environment similar to a craft brewery, feeding it simple nutrients like molasses from sugar beets. This clean fermentation process gives us complete control over quality, ensuring our source is free from the pesticides, heavy metals, and pollutants often found in traditional agriculture.
From there, we transform the whole yeast into a pure protein powder. We use gentle heat and the yeast’s own natural enzymes to unlock the valuable protein from within the cell. Next, a high-speed spinning process carefully separates the pure protein from everything else. This is what makes it a protein ‘isolate’—we remove the yeast cell wall and other components, leaving behind a smooth, neutral-tasting powder with no active or inactive yeast. The result is pure protein crafted with scientific precision.
