Beyond Alternatives

Rather than merely replacing conventional proteins, Maia Form™, Maia Flour™, and Maia Fresh™ enhance and optimize meat, poultry, and seafood formulations by improving water retention, boosting protein density, enhancing mouthfeel, reducing dependency on binders, and enabling cleaner labels.
