The shrimp was produced using the Israeli biotech’s proprietary DropJet printer and shrimp-flavored inks that were developed in-house.
The technology precisely prints the shrimp analogs, layer by layer, to replicate the texture and flavour of shrimp.
Initially targeting potential clients with plant-based shrimps, Steakholder Foods plans to introduce hybrid shrimps (a mix of cultivated cells and plant proteins) when its cultivated platform becomes cost-effective.
The CEO, Arik Kaufman, envisions this innovation positioning Steakholder Foods in the global seafood market, with plans to sell and deliver the first DropJet printer in 2024.
