An open window into plant-protein performance
The Data Garden publishes how plant proteins behave under shared methods, so suppliers, ingredient buyers, and researchers can read from the same evidence.
A characterization record, not a marketing claim
Each ingredient is profiled the same way, by the same instruments, against the same protocols. Each figure traces back to a frozen run.
Three ways in
The Data Garden serves three audiences. Pick your fit..
Researchers
A Public Evidence Base
We treat the linkage between ingredients, extraction, and function as a shared scientific problem — foundational work that has broad utility but suffers
from industry silos. The Data Garden is the base layer: every datapoint traceable to its source, every method with a writeup, every dataset with a stable identifier.
Buyers
Threading Every Needle
An ingredient has to satisfy taste, texture, nutrition, cost, regulatory, supply, and consumer fit.
Cost and the rest move through predictable channels, but functionality is the gamble. We’ll open our lab notebook and make functionality transparent. Lock in function, then get to work on everything else.

Your Ingredient Shines
Proteins that survive cost optimization often underperform on stretch, foaming, gelling, emulsifying — and that's without even considering pH. Submit a
defatted protein-rich flour and we'll run the full analytical battery; the results are yours. Anonymized by default; attribution is your call.
