At Foodberry, we believe nature has provided the template for delicious, healthy, and sustainable food.
We’ve turned this design into a technology platform and are using it to transform the way we eat, for the good of people, and the planet.
On a mission to
Transform the way we eat.
Plastic Free Packaging
Our technology removes the need for plastic packaging, meeting consumers' increasing desire for sustainability.
Bioavailable Nutrition
Balanced nutritional profile based on Nature’s Macros, including high moisture content, plant-based fibers, and phytonutrients, for increased absorption and decreased inflammation.
Limitless Applications
From familiar foods like yogurt and hummus to the next generation of plant-based alternatives to the personalized foods of tomorrow, the Foodberry format is compatible with virtually any food imaginable.
How we create
A better kind of food.
Tapping into Mother Nature's secrets.
The essence of our platform is deeply intuitive: our simple secret is that we’ve unlocked Mother Nature’s secret for protecting what she makes. We learned how to wrap up goodness just like nature does.
Creating a new class of materials.
Through design principles and natural chemistries found in fruit skins and peels, we’ve created an entirely new class of edible barrier materials.
Biomimicry isn’t just the form, it’s also the function (moisture barrier, nutrition, flavor) and the substance (fruit + veg fibers, phytonutrients, natural polymer networks).
Designing products that make an impact.
Our always on-the-go modern lifestyle has created demand for convenient foods that are easy, portable and highly craveable. That convenience has come at the cost of decreased nutritional value, declining health outcomes & increased plastic waste.
Foodberries provide that convenience in a format that is inherently nutritious and sustainable, with a limitless variety that offers a glimpse into the future of regenerative and personalized food.
