Green Queen: Israeli Cell Ag Innovator Pluri Raises $6.5M, Announces Lab-Grown Cocoa Startup Acquisition.
Israel’s Pluri has secured a $6.5M investment and entered the cell-based chocolate space with the impending purchase of a majority stake in Rehovot-based Kokomodo.
After innovating with cultivated meat and lab-grown coffee, Haifa-based firm Pluri is dipping into cell-based chocolate.
The cellular agriculture specialist has acquired at least 71% of fellow Israeli company Kokomodo, which makes cell-cultured cocoa, in a transaction with $4.5M.
Pluri is purchasing these shares from Chutzpah Holdings and Plantae, both of which are under the control of health and tech investor Alejandro Weinstein, who has concurrently poured $6.5M into Pluri’s business.
“Pluri has already demonstrated the great potential of cell-based technologies[.]
Stem Cell Chocolate! Yum!
Kokomodo is the result of a joint venture between The Kitchen FoodTech Hub and Tel Aviv-based Plantae Bioscience, whose technology has been developed behind closed doors for the last two years. [Like Teh Coof "vaccine" ? -DD]
Oreo, Mondelēz VC, Cadbury, Toblerone are all on board.
Give it a few years and it'll likely suffer the same fate of lab grown meat.
Full Blown BDS on this goyslop!
* FREE PR TIP: TO CHOCOLATIERS WHO DON'T USE THIS FAKE COCO, START MARKETING AND ADVERTISING YOUR PRODUCT AS SUCH IMMEDIATELY.

Ya gotta Read the ingredients on Every Frikken THING now. The bread you're paying four bucks a loaf for can't even be Sold in Europe. They put crap in Our food. Why did Gluten become a problem for so many people just a few years ago? Nobody Really Knows, right? But, coincidentally, they figured out that if they spray wheat with Roundup a few days before harvest, it dries better.
Justin, Yeah, reading the ingredients is a "must do" these days. I always have to look-up gluten, I can never remember what it is. Ha! There's so much synthetic crap, additives and preserves in our food today it's disgusting. Nothing tastes like it used to. those rotisserie chicken that everyone sells now; 5-6-7 years ago were edible, decent, with much depending on where you buy them - or rather, who's selling them. At least for me. they all taste terrible now.
I didn't know that about Roundup and have no reason to doubt it.
Sorry for the delay in getting to comments. Thanks for stopping by. Take care.
