Italian chain Spoleto recently added the vegan “Future Meatball” to the menu of its 351 locations in Brazil. The new vegan “Almôndegas” are made by Brazilian startup Fazenda Futuro (“Future Farm” in English) and is served at Spoleto with spaghetti and pomodoro sauce.

意式快餐连锁店“Spoleto”的351间巴西分店菜单最近增添了“未来肉丸”（Future Meatball）纯素食品。这款新的“Almôndegas”（肉丸）纯素食品的生产商是巴西初创公司“Fazenda Futuro”（“未来农场”）；Spoleto意式快餐连锁店率先供应该款纯素肉丸，搭配意大利面条和番茄酱售卖给顾客。

The chain expects to sell 150,000 servings of the vegan meatballs in the next two months and will invest R $300,000 (USD $73,515) into its “Meatball of the Future” campaign with the aim of growing the vegan option to represent five percent of all Spoleto sales in the next six months.

该快餐连锁店预期在未来两个月内售出150,000份纯素肉丸，并将投资300,000巴西雷亚尔（73,515美元）发展其“未来的肉丸”项目；该快餐连锁店目标是在未来六个月内，增长这款纯素替代品的销售额，使之占到Spoleto连锁店总销售额的百分之五。

Founded in March by entrepreneur Marcos Leta, Fazenda Futuro uses artificial intelligence to help approximate the taste and texture of beef with plant-based ingredients. In May, the food technology company debuted its flagship vegan Futuro Burger at several retailers and has since expanded to the restaurant sector. In addition to meatballs and burgers, Fazenda Futuro recently unveiled its newest product Carne Moída that can be used as a one-for-one replacement in dishes that call for ground beef.

企业家马科斯·莱塔（Marcos Leta）在今年三月创立了Fazenda Futuro公司。这家初创公司利用人工智能（AI）技术，用植物性材料模拟牛肉的味道和质地。在五月份，该食品科技公司通过一些零售店首次推出了其旗舰产品“Futuro Burger”（“未来汉堡”），并随后将这款纯素汉堡肉饼产品推广到餐饮业。除了肉丸和汉堡肉饼之外，Fazenda Futuro公司最近还发布了其最新产品“Carne Moída”（碎牛肉），可用来取代各种菜肴中需要用到的碎牛肉。
