Spare Secures National Premier, Inc. Contract for “Better Beef” LEARN MORE
Spare Food is built around a simple idea: make better use of responsibly grown and raised ingredients. Built through years of chef-led innovation, we create delicious foods that deliver more flavor and better nutrition by making smarter use of ingredients that are already in the food system.
REAL INGREDIENTS. LESS WASTE.
BETTER OUTCOMES.
Spare Beef reimagines how beef is used — improving what people already love.
We replace 30% of every pound of responsibly raised, grass-fed beef with roasted surplus vegetables, creating real, recognizable food with full beefy flavor, better nutrition, and a lighter footprint — using less beef and more of what’s already grown.
REAL BEEF. REAL VEGETABLES. THAT’S IT.
Spare Burger pre-formed patties are a direct replacement for traditional beef burgers. They deliver the familiar, beef-forward flavor that people expect — just juicier, better balanced and better for you.
They cook like any great burger should, whether on the grill, flat top, or over an open flame — no special techniques or training required.
Spare Ground is a versatile, ready to use one-for-one replacement for ground beef in any recipe that calls for it - from meatballs to tacos, sauces, and more.
Prepped vegetables are already included, reducing labor, time and trim waste while delivering reliable juiciness and flavor.

Keep what works. Improve the rest.
Great source of protein with lower cholesterol, fewer calories, and less saturated fat than 100% beef — made from ingredients you recognize, with nothing extra added.
Flavor comes first.
Vegetables soak up beef juices as they cook, creating a rich, beef-forward flavor that stays juicy and balanced. Familiar, satisfying and always crowd-pleasing.
Less beef. Less wasted food. More impact.
Blending grass-fed beef with surplus vegetables lowers emissions, saves water, and keeps food in circulation — benefiting farmers, kitchens, and hungry diners alike.
Works everywhere beef does.
With cooked vegetables already blended in, it saves prep time and reduces trim waste — no new processes required.
Inclusive by design.
Soy-free, gluten-free, allergen-free, and Halal certified — made to work for everyone at the table.
The Spare Food Co. was founded with a chef’s perspective at its core — grounded in hospitality and how decisions get made in kitchens.
Co-founders Adam and Jeremy Kaye come from a legacy of culinary entrepreneurship shaped by social consciousness, curiosity about global culture, and an inherited love of great food. That mindset informs everything Spare does, from ingredient sourcing to how products perform in real-world kitchens.
With over two decades as a chef and culinary director at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Adam brings deep experience at the intersection of flavor, sourcing, and scale. That chef-led approach guides Spare’s culinary innovation — delivering solutions crafted from real ingredients and better agricultural practices that improve human and environmental health.
At its core, Spare is about using what’s already grown more thoughtfully to create better food — for chefs, diners, and the planet.
Spare isn’t trying to replace what people love about beef. We’ve simply created the better beef so many of us have been craving.
