Cornell Snack Start-Up Antithesis Foods Awarded $1 Million NSF Grant

May 24, 2022: 12:00 AM EST
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $1 million grant to Cornell snack start-up Antithesis Foods. Antithesis Foods started as a Cornell masters project in the College of Agriculture and Life Science and has blossomed into a student start-up company with support from Cornell’s student business accelerator and an earlier NSF grant. The company has developed innovative technology that restructures fibers and proteins to make crispy dough from legumes. Its first product, Grabanzos, was a chocolate-covered snack made from chickpeas. In January, the company launched its second product, Protos Grain-Free Baked Crisps. The recent funding from the NSF will allow Anthithesis Foods to expand its production and apply its technology to other foods such as graham crackers, cereals, chips, granola and cookies.
