Planetarians is a San Francisco–based food and beverage company that develops a plant-based protein sourced from sidestreams generated by beer fermentation and soybean processing. Its two-ingredient formula uses spent yeast and spent beans to yield a protein that reportedly has more protein than beef and an 82% PDCAAS quality score, with a form suitable for versatile whole-cut applications. The production approach is designed for scale, capable of about 500 tons per month at roughly one-tenth the cost of beef. It sells its product in U.S. schools, where it has achieved a 72% acceptance rate. The company operates within the sustainable-protein segment of the food and beverage manufacturing industry, aiming to improve nutrient availability while reducing reliance on additional cropland. It maintains partnerships with AB InBev for supply and with Clextral for equipment to support scale.
