Leaft Foods Unveils Leaft Blade, Performance Nutrition from Green Leaf Protein

Leaft Foods, a New Zealand-based company, has revolutionized protein extraction by successfully commercializing Rubisco protein sourced from green leaves. This breakthrough, after over a century of research by food scientists, offers a more efficient and sustainable protein source with distinct functional properties due to its enzymatic nature and complete amino acid profile. Rubisco protein generated by Leaft Foods has 97% lower carbon emissions compared to animal-based proteins, making it a more environmentally friendly option integrated with sustainable farming practices in Canterbury, New Zealand.

In addition to selling ingredients to business-to-business customers, Leaft Foods has launched its first consumer product, Leaft Blade, a performance nutrition product designed to be consumed before exercise to provide a quicker source of nutrition for athletes and active individuals. Users report faster digestion and less bloating compared to traditional protein sources. With plans to expand market availability and increase production capacity, Leaft Foods aims to continue offering sustainable and innovative protein products to a wider audience.
