07 May 2021 --- Equinom has teamed up with sesame seed processor and exporter Dipasa to roll out a protein-rich sesame variety as an alternative to conventional plant bases. Sesame has primarily been used as a cooking oil, in spreads or condiments, or in bakery and confectionery products – not as a base for plant-based products. But that could all change according to the Isreali start-up making waves in the alternative protein space. Smarter Sesame Protein, naturally bred using genomic optimization algorithms backed by AI, is considered unique as regular sesame is not a significant protein source.
