SIMULATE’s mission is to develop nutrition technology that advances nature’s codebase. SIMULATE’s first product, NUGGS, is a chicken nugget simulation made from plant inputs. Since NUGGS launched in the Summer of 2019, NUGGS has evolved into the fastest-growing chicken nugget on the planet. SIMULATE is currently developing new nutrition technologies, some that will launch later in the year.
