A plant-based alternative to minced meat

The dry product contains 53 g of protein per 100 g and is high in protein.

This makes the textured mince suitable for vegans, vegetarians, active people and anyone looking to include more plant protein in everyday meals.

It readily absorbs sauces, marinades, herbs and spices, making it easy to adapt to Mediterranean, Mexican, Asian or traditional recipes.
It pairs particularly well with:

- Cumin and coriander
- Fresh herbs
- Mushrooms
- Roasted vegetables
- Chilli and taco spices
- Curry and coconut milk
