Explore the future of sweetness.
Global intake of added sugar has skyrocketed, remaining well above public health recommendations. Despite growing demand for reduced sugar products, consumers have made it clear that they don’t want to sacrifice taste.
Confronting one of the food industry’s toughest challenges, we set out to find a sweet solution from fungi. After years of development, we are now collaborating with innovators across the industry to bring Honey Truffle Sweetener to market and contribute to a sweeter, healthier future.
