    A WHOLE NEW WAY TO MEATLESSYou can stop dreaming, ‘cause it’s here: A plant-based bacon so good, you’ll double-check the label to make sure it’s not meat. Our farm-grown mycelium gives MyBacon a remarkable taste and texture, unlike any plant-based food we’ve tried (...that’s ‘cause it’s fungi).We’re gonna feed the future! Mother Nature's solution to our rising demand for meat. Out in the woods, it’s not ready to eat. But grown INSIDE a special farm—in WHOLE pieces—mycelium becomes a tasty, plant-based food with an irresistible texture. (Thank you, fungi kingdom!)Check out our process here https://myforestfoods.com/our-process
