THE FILET – Inspired by salmon is a vegan alternative crafted from mycelium (mycoprotein), the fermented superfood. Try it in all the three variants: Classic, ASIAN FUSION STYLE, PINK PEPPER & LEMON STYLE.

Naturally Juicy & Meaty Texture
The texture of plant-based products is a crucial factor in assessing the mouthfeel, softness, and chewiness attributes of foods. Mycoprotein naturally resembles the texture of red meat with its excellent viscosity. This makes THE FILET even more delicious.
-
Source of Fibers
Mycoprotein naturally contains 6g of fibers per 100g. This implies that, according to European Commission requirements, it is rich in fibers.
Mycoprotein contains even more fibre than almonds, black beans, chickpeas, and peanuts!
-
13.9 g of Protein per pack
Our Filet contains 13.9g of protein per pack (100g). Generally, we need about 0.75g of protein per kg of body weight.
This means that if you weight 60kg, you should eat (at least) 45g of protein per day. Can you calculate how many Filets you would need to eat to reach your daily protein intake?

Now available with marinations!
Marinated and ready to fry: THE FILET is now available in two new marinated variants, to make your dinner even faster and tastier. You just need to take it out and cook it in the oily marination you find in the package. Available in ASIAN FUSION STYLE with umami spices and herbs, and in PINK PEPPER & LEMON STYLE for a fresh and bold twist.
-
Complete amino acid profile
Mycoprotein is an excellent protein source. Your body needs protein to function properly, repair your muscles, lose weight and stay healthy.
Mycoprotein contains all 9 essential amino acids that humans need but can’t synthesize themselves: Some of these are even necessary to keep you happy and in a good mood.
With THE FILET you can get all of them in one meal!
-
Higher bioavailability than beef
Amino acid bioavailability is the proportion of amino acids that enter the bloodstream from food and can be used for building proteins in the body. It mainly depends on protein digestibility, amino acid absorption, and how amino acids are used or broken down in the body.
The Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) is used to measure these factors. While beef’s PDCAAS is 0.92, mycoprotein’s score is 0.996. This score is very similar to milk, one of the foods with the highest bioavailability, and even higher than meat.
-
Probably the most sustainable protein source
Mycoprotein is a sustainable and economical meat substitute that can replace animal protein. It is more effective and environmentally friendly than animal protein, as it uses less water and land resources. In general, mycoprotein’s carbon footprint is lower than other sources of protein, such as beef and chicken, as stated by the Carbon Trust.
Meat has met its match
THE FILET HAS HIGHER BIOAVAILABILITY THAN BEEF
Not all proteins are created equal. The secret lies in something called amino acid bioavailability, which is how well our bodies can use the amino acids from the food we eat to build proteins.
Here’s the exciting part: THE FILET beats beef in this crucial area!
When we talk about bioavailability, we’re looking at three main things: how well the protein is digested, how efficiently the amino acids are absorbed, and how effectively they are used or broken down in the body. Beef has a decent score with a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 0.92. But mycoprotein, scores an impressive 0.996.
What does this mean in simple terms?
This means that mycoprotein is almost as bioavailable as milk, one of the best foods for protein absorption, and even better than meat. So, if you’re looking for a protein source that your body can make the most out of, THE FILET is a great addition to your diet! It’s not just about eating healthy; it’s about eating smart!
