Prime Roots: Recipes

Prime Roots is a Berkeley-based food innovator bringing deli favorites into the future with koji-based, plant-powered proteins. By focusing on classic flavors like turkey, ham, and salami — but made without the environmental footprint of conventional meat — the brand is proving that sustainability and tradition can live side by side. Their approach blends food science with comfort food, offering products that are familiar, yet forward-thinking.

Prime Roots was named a Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day — click here for their Solutionist spotlight and their Seeing Green Podcast episode.

On their recipe page, Prime Roots highlights how these sustainable deli slices can inspire more than just sandwiches. Think croissant breakfast bakes, hearty wraps, and plant-based charcuterie boards — all crafted to feel indulgent while lowering impact. The collection shows how easy it can be to bring creativity, nostalgia, and sustainability together in meals that satisfy both people and the planet.
