Maia FORM™

TEXTURED. DIGESTIBLE. FUNCTIONAL.

Maia FORM™ is a textured protein made from oyster mushrooms and peas, developed to improve the flavour, texture, and nutritional profile of plant proteins. With a PDCAAS of 0.92 and delivering about 12g protein per 18g serving (~66% protein), it provides high-quality protein and digestibility that address key limitations of soy and pea-based alternatives.

Available in multiple formats — Ground™, Shred™, Strip™, Flake™, and Bite™ — each optimized for specific applications from tacos and sushi rolls to soups, fillings, and hybrid meats. FORM™ hydrates quickly during processing, with defined soak curves for larger pieces, and adapts easily to both low- and high-moisture systems.

Engineered for clean-label performance, Maia FORM™ delivers meat-like bite, water-binding capacity, and scalability, giving R&D teams a versatile base for building alternative and blended proteins with confidence.
