BeefyGreen is a Dutch food company focused on circular mushroom products. Based in Helmond at Food Tech Brainport, it develops both B2B ingredients and B2C finished products built around mushrooms as a natural, plant-based base. The company serves a mix of foodservice, retail, catering, wholesalers, production companies, and ambitious slagers or meat processors looking to broaden their assortment with more sustainable and plant-forward options. BeefyGreen positions mushrooms as a functional, flavorful ingredient with natural texture, umami, and strong suitability for vegan and hybrid applications. A central part of its positioning is circularity: BeefyGreen upcycles misformed mushrooms, grower surpluses, stems, feet, and other underused mushroom parts into food-grade ingredients and consumer products. It emphasizes short supply chains, local sourcing where possible, and a practical approach to reducing food waste without relying on heavily processed formulations. Core Values Circularity : BeefyGreen aims to rescue mushroom rest streams and turn them into valuable food ingredients instead of waste. Reducing food waste is presented as a core part of its mission. Natural simplicity : The company favors pure, simple, minimally processed food and highlights the mushroom’s natural texture, bite, and umami as the basis for its products. Sustainability : BeefyGreen links its work to lower environmental impact, local and short-chain food systems, and more planet-friendly plant-based eating. Innovation : It positions itself as a practical innovator that develops new mushroom applications, including hybrid concepts, functional plant-based foods, and tailored ingredient solutions.

Food Tech Brainport base : The company operates from Helmond within the Food Tech Brainport ecosystem, which it presents as a hub for innovation, process optimization, and co-creation.
