This Mexico-based company, led by co-founders Enrique Gonzalez and Flavio Siller, has figured out a way to make the harvesting and usage of foodstuffs more nutritious and efficient. Their innovative solution to reusing the peels and seeds of fruits (mangos to start), by turning it into usable raw materials for the processed food industry, is making use of parts of the fruit that were otherwise wasted.
Eat Limmo has come up with a process that saves money and makes production facilities more efficient. The best part? Their company’s proprietary process improves the quality of finished food products as well.
“Our mission is to feed 10 billion people in 2050 in a healthy, affordable and sustainable way,” González told Forbes author Robin D. Schatz in a May, 2016 video interview from his Monterrey office. “We see a lot of byproducts and residues with a lot of nutrition. They can have a lot of functionality.”
