Despite its commitment to environmental sustainability, air-based protein is claimed to have several health benefits over traditional animal meat as it contains soy-free, pesticides-free and free from genetically modified organisms. Solar Foods claims its air-based protein called Solein has a higher protein content per kilogram and rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids compared to any other meat source. This discovery gives a ray of hope for environmentally friendly alternative while delighting the palates of meat enthusiasts worldwide.
