About UNLIMEAT

UNLIMEAT creates plant-based products rich in nutrients, utilizing various by-products that are typically discarded in the food production process. These include rice bran, a by-product of the brown rice polishing process, and defatted soybean powder, which results from soybean oil extraction. The company originated from the idea of reducing waste by repurposing ‘ugly agricultural products' that are often discarded due to factors such as small size, scratches, or uneven color. It operates the largest plant-based meat exclusive factory in Asia and is currently launching a variety of K-vegan products with a Korean twist.
