About Us
Artesa by Nutriati
01
Nutriati has been focused on research, development, and commercialization of plant-based ingredients for nearly a decade. We envision a world where innovations in taste & nutrition drive the livelihood of farmers and community while restoring balance to the planet.
Our patented manufacturing process, Artesa PureProcess, allows us to create the industry’s most functional, best tasting plant-based ingredients at scale.

Sustainability
02
Our vision wouldn’t be complete without sustainability at its core. Artesa PureProcess is a water-free extraction method eliminating the need of 20 gallons of water per 1kg of protein isolate used in traditional manufacturing. We aim to reduce greenhouse gases by using pulses which require no nitrogen fertilizer, reducing nitrous oxide emissions.
