GOODSIDE FOODS HAS launched meatless crumbles, a shelf-stable pantry staple that can be crafted into protein-rich meals by simply adding water. The signature product is made using a natural fermentation process designed to make plant protein tastier and easier to digest.
The crumbles offer a convenient way for at-home cooks to enhance meals. They contain just three ingredients: pea and rice protein, fermented by shitake mushroom roots, or mycelia; pea fiber; and pea protein. A perfect addition to meatballs, tacos, chili, and sauces, the crumbles contain 17 grams of protein and 90 calories per half-cup serving.
Goodside Foods’ meatless crumbles are certified kosher, non-GM, and halal, and are free of soy and artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. The crumbles can be found online at goodsidefoods.com for a suggested retail price of $10.99 for an 8.95-ounce bag.
THE SPARE FOOD CO. has introduced a fermented effervescent drink, called Spare Tonic, that is made from recycled whey and offers a good source of protein and electrolytes, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
The refreshing elixir contains fruit, spice, and a touch of honey as the fermentation catalyst and comes in four flavors: Lemon & Ginger, Cucumber & Lime, Blueberry & Ginger, and Peach & Turmeric. An excellent source of vitamins B12 and B6, Spare Tonic has a natural 3:1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, making it suitable as a post-workout recovery beverage. Each 12-ounce serving contains between 100 and 120 calories.
Spare Tonic can be found at retailers nationwide in the refrigerated beverage section for a suggested retail price of $3.99 per can.
