Prime Roots

Prime Roots is a Berkeley, California foodtech company making koji- and plant-based deli meats and bacon marketed as "the clean deli meat" — no preservatives, nitrates, or celery salt. It sells direct-to-consumer and through foodservice, running its online store on Shopify. That storefront exposes a native agent-commerce surface: an llms.txt / agents.md agent guide, a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP, https://ucp.dev) discovery document at /.well-known/ucp, and a hosted MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp for agent-driven catalog search, cart, and buyer-approved checkout. Added to the API Evangelist network as a Prosus Ventures portfolio company and enriched from its live public discovery surfaces.

Prime Roots publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Foodtech, Plant-Based, Deli Meat, and Food Service.

Prime Roots’ developer surface includes engineering blog and 7 more developer resources.
