Canada + Protein = Canatein

What could we achieve with a new
high protein, low carb, versatile and
affordable food ingredient entirely
made from the products of
Canada’s abundant farmland?

The technology

Canatein, the innovative plant-based protein ingredient developed by Prava Food's strategic investor, Shandi Global, is built on a foundation of advanced technology and scientific expertise. At the core of its production process is a distinctive 5-patent technology that sets it apart in the alternative protein industry. This proprietary method incorporates only natural, non-GMO ingredients, including Canadian-sourced pea protein, chickpeas, quinoa, and flax seeds. 

The result is a plant-based protein product that boasts a protein content of nearly 30%, matching the nutritional profile of real chicken meat.

One of the key technological breakthroughs in Canatein's development is the innovative solution to a common challenge in plant-based proteins: the "beany" taste. Through patented technology, Canatein has successfully eliminated this off-putting flavor, enabling it to closely mimic the taste and texture of meat. This achievement is complemented by the use of advanced high moisture extrusion techniques in its production. This process allows for the creation of unique plant-based specialties with a meat-like texture that closely resembles whole muscle cuts. 

The combination of these technologies enables Canatein to offer a protein ingredient that not only meets nutritional standards but also satisfies the sensory expectations of consumers accustomed to traditional meat products, while showcasing the quality of Canadian-grown ingredients.

High Protein

Canatein contains 30% protein, on par with conventional chicken. It offers a complete amino acid profile, making it a nutritionally comparable alternative to meat.

Whole Muscle Texture

Using High Moisture Meat Analogous (HMMA) technology, Canateain mimics the texture of real whole-cut meat, providing a satisfying eating experience.

Built in Taste

Canatein replicates meat's taste chemistry using plant-based ingredients.This creates a natural flavor that develops during cooking, similar to real meat.

Versatile Applications

Canatein is the perfect base for patties, pieces, shreds, strips, and drumsticks. This versatility allows for easy integration into existing recipes and menus without significant changes.

Sustainably Produced in Canada

The product of sustainable Canadian crops, Canatein offers a 1:1 protein conversion ratio, making it environmentally friendly alternative to meat and other plant-based protein options currently on the market.

Competitively Priced

Canatein is priced similar to conventional meat to target adoption by a wider audience, enabling more people to choose sustainable and healthy alternatives without financial barriers.
