Day 8 is an Israeli food tech startup that specializes in Rubisco-based protein ingredients. The company has developed a unique extraction method that uses existing crop leaves to create a taste-neutral powder, which incorporates the functionality of Rubisco. According to the company, this ingredient provides nutritional benefits similar to animal proteins and surpasses soy proteins in functional capabilities such as emulsifying, foaming, and gelling.
Funding and financials
In February 2024, the company raised USD 750,000 in pre-seed funding backed by The Kitchen FoodTech Hub. The funds were earmarked for the development and introduction of its Rubisco protein ingredient.
