Technically speaking, no, since it is the result of the fermentation of the fungus, Fusarium Venanatum. Sometimes in the common language, mycoprotein is included under the plant-based umbrella, but it would be more correct to call it an "alternative protein".

No, Plenitude is a consortium of 10 partners operating under the funding program Horizon 2020. Plenitude is funded by the European Commission and the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking and lasts 6 years (2019-2025).

Plenitude's partners are spread across Europe (e.g., The Netherlands, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom). The ENOUGH plant where ABUNDA is produced is located in Sas Van Gent, The Netherlands, co-located with a Cargill bio-refinery.

Plenitude's core is the integrated bio-process bringing together bio-ethanol and mycoprotein production. The two distinct processes are integrated meaning that they share the input, a grain-based feedstock, and are co-located, to reduce potential issues related to transportation. In fact, the Cargill bio-refinery and the ENOUGH mycoprotein plant are just a few hundred meters from each other. This makes both bio-processes more sustainable.

ABUNDA has a rather neutral taste, allowing a diverse range of food applications.
