Meat The End MTE Chickpea Hamburger
Meat the End MTE, an Israeli startup that develops alternatives for animal based food products like beef, has created the world’s first ever hamburger made from chickpeas. The “meat” is made from texturized proteins found in chickpeas.
Everybody loves humus. And humus is one of the things everybody thinks about when they think about Israel. And, believe it or not, humus is made from chickpeas. That’s right! Meat the End MTE has found a way to make meat from an Israeli staple. So now when you spread humus on your grilled meat you may very well just be spreading one form of chickpea on another.
It is fitting that Meat the End MTE released this news just before Israel celebrates its Independence Day on Wednesday. That is because Israelis love their grilled meats and will be lighting up barbecues nationwide in celebration of the holiday. So, someday soon they may all be cooking alternative meats.

Meat the End MTE breakthrough should not come as a surprise to anyone. Israel Startup Nation is at the forefront of the development of alternative meat production and technologies. This is an important factor in fighting climate change because the mass breeding of cows and poultry is a major contributor of greenhouse emissions and leaves behind a great deal of polluting waste.
Redefine Meat is probably the best known of these firms. The company develops meat substitutes with 3D printing that it says taste just like the real thing. Other new Israeli firms are also creating egg, dairy and poultry substitutes.
Founded in 2020, Meat the End MTE develops protein ingredients that transform the texture of alternative meat. Our unique IP is in industrial extrusion processes and related protein treatment. Our products perfectly mimic and enhance the sensation of meat. By 2021 the company had already submitted its first patent. Joined by world-class data scientists, protein engineers, and mechanical engineers, MTE boasts that it introduces industry-oriented solutions into food mass production.
Meat The End MTE creates what is calls unbeatable texture for businesses looking to re-invent their meat alternatives.
“The future of the protein supply chain is – diversity,” said Meat The End MTE CEO Dr. Yishai Mishor. “The world needs more protein options. Today we’re helping the industry take another step in that direction.”
“That’s why we are incredibly proud of our development, a result of unique scientific and technological work, at the end of which we present a burger with the taste and smell of meat, and a texture that resembles meat, without competition,” he added about Meat The End MTE. “This is all based on a protein ingredient source that up until today was not known in the meat alternative industry. It is an incredible accomplishment.”
