Wine Waste

Filamentous fungi grown on winery by-products were transformed into high-quality meat analogues with impressive texture, nutrition, and sustainability benefits. The fungi efficiently converted grape residues into protein-rich biomass, producing a fibrous structure similar to meat while reducing reliance on animal agriculture and upcycling a major food-industry waste stream.
