Magnificent Proteins

Magnificent Proteins is establishing the first factory in Emmen, Netherlands, to produce high-quality protein products from locally grown field beans. These proteins are intended for use in various food products including meat substitutes, vegetarian dairy, sauces, emulsions, and sports and medical nutrition. The company emphasizes sustainable practices by utilizing field beans that require minimal artificial fertilizers, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing soil nutrients through a symbiotic relationship between the plants and bacteria. This initiative aligns with the National Protein Strategy aimed at increasing domestic protein production, particularly legumes. Moreover, as consumer demand shifts towards healthier, plant-based options, Magnificent Proteins seeks to provide vegetable alternatives with neutral characteristics to replace animal proteins. The company's sustainable processes also include using energy generated from renewable sources. Additionally, Magnificent Proteins collaborates with the Bean Deal that involves businesses, government, and knowledge institutions to enhance the cultivation and processing of Dutch protein crops. The company is also associated with Phyto Delight, which produces naturally sourced astaxanthin from microalgae, reflecting a commitment to the health benefits of microalgae in vegetarian diets.
