JUSTAKE™ creates nutritious, protein-enriched foods from whole Lion’s Mane mushrooms.
Its naturally grown, fibrous structure creates a whole-cut eating experience with a character of its own.
Our technology improves its nutritional and functional properties, while product development makes it practical for professional kitchens.
JUSTAKE™ is neither a conventional mushroom side dish nor an imitation of meat. It is a different way to experience fungi.
Naturally fibrous.
Meaty bite. Juicy texture. Made from mushrooms.
JUSTAKE brings the natural structure of mushrooms together with plant proteins to create a satisfying whole-cut eating experience. Designed to sear, slice and serve like a steak — without trying to hide what it is.
Our patent-pending enzyme technology enriches mushroom fruiting bodies with plant proteins, creating a unique mushroom-protein matrix with a naturally structured, meat-like bite.
No mycelium. The foundation of our product is the mushroom fruiting body.
Mushrooms form the heart of JUSTAKE. Combined with selected plant proteins, herbs and spices, they create a savory, satisfying steak alternative with a short and purposeful ingredient list.
Our goal: great taste and texture with only the processing needed to make an exceptional product.
We believe the next generation of meat alternatives should win people over through taste, texture and simplicity. JUSTAKE is made for flexitarians, meat lovers and plant-based eaters who want an exciting alternative without compromising on the eating experience.
Behind JUSTAKE is NEW ERA FOOD, developing scalable FoodTech solutions based on mushrooms and proteins.
JUSTAKE has been developed through extensive prototyping, consumer feedback and customer discovery. Our work has been recognized through leading FoodTech and entrepreneurship programs and competitions, including the AgriFood Start-up Booster Grant and TUM’s food innovation ecosystem.
JUSTAKE is the first product brand from NEW ERA FOOD, a FoodTech startup developing mushroom-based food solutions.
Founded by food technologist and inventor Sarah Schlingloff, NEW ERA FOOD combines food science, product development and commercialization to bring a new generation of mushroom-based foods to market.

Using lion's mane mushroom, this meat alternative harvests the power of nature. The fibers of this tree fungus mimic the muscle tissue found in meat.

Our mushroom steak was able to convince the judges of the AgriFood Start-up Booster Grant and the IGL #9 food and drink innovation competition of the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Sarah as the food technologist with years of experience in product development and Timo with a background in management, aim to revolutionize the meat alternative market.
