Our manifesto

For a decade, plants have been pretending to be meat. We thought it was time to return the favour.

Back to the roots. The real ones were always on the bone.

Familiar shapes, honest substance

People grew fond of how vegetables look on a plate: the green tree of broccoli, the curve of a banana, the neat cube of tofu. We kept every bit of that. We just changed everything inside.

Nose to tail, root to tip

Liver, kidneys, hearts and brains are some of the most nutrient-dense foods there are, and most of them never reach a supermarket shelf. Shaped like a vegetable, they finally get eaten. Every product uses cuts that would otherwise be overlooked.

Closing the loop

Jackfruit spent years imitating pulled pork. Our Jackfruit is pulled pork. We see this as a quiet restoration of order, and as the logical end of the alternative-protein story.

No compromise on chewing

Our test panels found that 9 in 10 people who said they "eat more vegetables now" were mostly eating the idea of vegetables. We built a range around that finding.

The launch range

Sixteen vegetables. Not one plant.

Side by side

How it's made

Four steps from the butcher's block to your crudités platter.

  1. Source

    We buy whole animals from farms within 150 km of our kitchen, then start with the cuts nobody else wants.

  2. Sculpt

    Each piece is pressed, piped or hand-carved into its vegetable form. A pineapple takes 14 minutes. A cauliflower takes no time at all.

  3. Finish

    Colour comes from searing, smoking and curing. Nothing green is ever involved, which is why our broccoli is deep oxblood.

  4. Rest

    Products rest for 24 hours so the shape sets. Then they are chilled, packed in compostable trays and shipped.

Brand study

We asked shoppers to choose our name.

Before launch we tested four names with a consumer panel. The winner was the only one people could both pronounce and remember after a long lunch.

Questions

Frequently asked, patiently answered.

Is this vegan?

No.

Is it vegetarian?

Also no. It is the opposite of vegetarian, shaped like vegetarian.

Where is the fibre?

There isn't any. Our nutrition team describes fibre as "a plant's way of avoiding commitment".

Why would anyone want this?

For the same reason people buy plant-based burgers: they like the look and ritual of a food but want something else inside it. We simply apply the idea in the other direction.

Does the Porkapple taste sweet?

It is glazed with a little honey, so yes, gently. It is still a pork neck.

Can I put Brocco·Liver in a smoothie?

Technically yes. We would ask you not to film it.

Are your greens green?

Nothing in our range is green. We consider that the most honest thing about us.
