Microalgae food product developer - help fix food!

Are you into plant based foods? Are you creative in the kitchen, and good at taking pictures of your food? Do you dream about algae?

If you can say yes to at least the first two bullets then read on.

At Biotrino we are growing Chlorella microalgae as a Nordic Superfood – we call it Blonde Chlorella.

Blonde Chlorella contains a lot of great things – including 60% protein, omega 3/6 fatty acids, vitamins & minerals. If you haven’t heard about it then try googling ‘Chlorella benefits’ and see for yourself.

As they grow in water with almost no waste, they are also among the most sustainable protein sources – beating soy and pea protein as well.

The main issue with Chlorella is the very strong taste and colour which makes it hard to use in most dishes. We have come up with a yellow version with a light colour and umami taste. That opens up a lot of new opportunities to use algae in a variety of dishes, boosting flavour and nutritional properties as well.

Right now, we have a great ingredient ready that can save the world, and we need you to help the industry apply it to their products.
You will need to get intimate with the algae, it’s functional properties, how it works with other ingredients, and how it can be successfully applied to plant based recipes.
We do have a lot of knowledge to get you started, but there is still a lot of testing and cooking that needs to be done.

We expect you to have a passion for food, and even better would be a relevant education and/or experience.

In the end, we hope you will become our algae guru who knows everything about using our algae in food, and can help our clients develop great recipes, and succeed with algae based products.

The initial position will be as a freelance/consultant, and over time it could be expanded into a full-time position. You will be doing a lot of recipe development and trials in your own kitchen, with a lot of flexibility.

Help us fix the world, and spread a plant based lifestyle!
