MicroTerra is a pioneering food tech company that harnesses the power of Lemna, an aquatic plant, to produce sustainable and clean-label ingredients. Their breakthrough innovation, Flora: The Taste & Feel Ingredient, is a groundbreaking texturizer that enhances sweetness perception while reducing the need for sugar in food formulations. Flora also helps mask unwanted notes from high-intensity sweeteners, providing a superior taste experience.

Led by Marissa Cuevas and a talented team, MicroTerra is poised to revolutionize the food industry. With a decentralized production model proven at scale and a focus on sustainability, the company aims to create ingredients that not only meet consumer demand for clean labels but also contribute to environmental protection by cleaning water during the production process.

MicroTerra's innovative approach positions them to capture a significant share of the $40 billion sweetener and texturizer market. By offering a clean-label, sustainable alternative to traditional ingredients, the company is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for healthier and more environmentally friendly food options and become a leader in the rapidly evolving food ingredient landscape.
