FAQs

Meati products are a super-delish whole cuts made almost entirely from MushroomRoot™, a new superfood providing complete protein, lots of fiber, and plenty of micronutrients — an incredible source of planet-friendly nutrition with zero hidden ingredients. Today, meati is available as a Classic Cutlet, Crispy Cutlet, Classic Steak, and Carne Asada Steak.

Meati is a new superfood offering complete protein, fiber, B vitamins, and other important components of a healthy diet. We like to think that meati is akin to packing the nutritional impact of animal-based meat and vegetables into one convenient cut. We believe our food provides incredible value, and we’re still a very young company working toward the efficiencies of scale that can affect pricing.

Thank you for wanting to invest in us, but that’s not an option right now. We are not a public company.

With the vacuum seal still intact, meati is good for about 15 days once thawed in the refrigerator. Once the seal is broken, we recommend consuming meati within two to three days. If meati remains frozen, you can check the side of the packaging for the “use by” date.

We don’t offer direct discounts, but we do work with local retailers to provide occasional promotions. To keep up with them, sign up on our website for emailed updates and follow us on Instagram.

Every pic is 100% meati! Animal-free meats made from MushroomRoot are pretty mouthwatering, right?!

You can cook the range of meati products much like you cook animal-based meat: Sautéeing, baking, grilling, or smoking are all options. In the case of a Crispy Cutlet, we recommend air frying. As an added bonus, meati cuts do not overcook or burn as easily as animal-based meat. Find more recipes and cooking instructions in the Meati Kitchen.

Season your meati like you would chicken or beef, but for no longer than two hours before you’re ready to heat. Apply a slight amount of oil to the outside and then grill. We recommend checking out specific instructions for cooking here, as times vary based on the meati cut and whether it’s frozen or thawed. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Season meati Classic Cutlets like you would a chicken breast or thigh. You can find some ideas here, and follow us on Instagram for more tips and tricks!

You can see the ingredients and nutritional information for each of our cuts right here.

Meati takes great pride in adding only natural ingredients, and never anything artificial. That said, we work with a partner to develop our natural flavor, and the ingredients used are considered confidential and proprietary, so we cannot disclose that information. But all our natural flavors are derived from vegan and non-GMO sources.

Our amazing star ingredient, MushroomRoot, provides complete protein, fiber, B vitamins, and other nutrients that make it a super-delish superfood. Check out all of meati’s nutritional information here.

Meati’s Classic Cutlet, Classic Steak, and Carne Asada Steak are 95% MushroomRoot, which we grow at our indoor Mega Ranch in Colorado with sugar (the final product is sugar-free!), nutrients, and water. We add color and flavor — and sometimes breading — to create the cuts you know and love. Learn more here.

To ensure the best possible experience as well as overall food safety, we ship our products quickly so that they arrive at your doorstep frozen. We recommend keeping them frozen until you’re ready to thaw and cook, depending on the cut. While the enclosed dry ice may keep the product frozen in some circumstances, we cannot predict the impact of temperatures, sunlight, or weather.

Thanks for asking – this is important to us, too! As we just began shipping for the first time, it was critical that we design an experience that would guarantee shipments stay frozen and protected. We are now focused on optimizing the experience while continuing to improve the size of packaging and materials we use. We look forward to rolling out improvements in the future!

To dispose of dry ice, place it in a well-ventilated area at room temperature; the remainder of the ice will sublimate away. Never dispose of dry ice in a waste container.
