THORMI HME Version 3.0 is a next-generation high-moisture extruded (HME) plant-based protein made from European-grown pea protein.
The product has been developed in collaboration with internationally recognised food scientists and functions as a clean-label, versatile core ingredient for both human-grade gourmet foods and premium pet food applications.
THORMI HME is convenient to use and essentially ready to consume, requiring no intensive thermal processing. It delivers an exceptionally tender, fibrous and juicy texture, an authentic mouthfeel, and a naturally pleasant taste. Thanks to advanced process optimisation, meat-like structures are achieved without the use of additives, binders or texturising agents. 

The product is 100% GMO-free, allergen-free and rich in high-quality plant protein. It is suitable for food industry, foodservice, HoReCa and specialised institutional catering.

Its versatility enables a wide range of applications, including pulled and shredded-style products, sauces, grill and BBQ solutions, plant-based and hybrid burger patties and meatballs, minced-meat-style products and sausages, pizza toppings, wrap and burrito fillings, baked fillings, as well as warm and cold salad components.

An earlier generation of THORMI HME was used in the product “Shredded Chickenless in Coconut-Curry Sauce”, which won the Gulfood Innovation Award 2025 in Dubai in the Best Ready-to-Eat Product category.

Compared to earlier versions, version 3.0 achieves complete flavour neutrality. The previously detectable pea aftertaste has been fully eliminated, even for highly sensitive tasters. The product offers a natural umami taste, an exceptionally tender and juicy texture, and is easy to season, marinate and smoke.
