Time to jump on the jackfruit wagon
Jackfruit is a popular meat-free alternative in vegan cuisine but can often prove troublesome to source in the UK. That’s all set to change with the launch of a new tinned variety from Essential Trading. The Organic Young Jackfruit will now be readily available. Chunks of fresh young jackfruit are canned in salted water, and provide a natural, nutritious and delicious alternative to meat. This new store cupboard staple is packed with valuable free radical fighting anti-oxidants and vitamins, and a natural source of minerals including potassium, zinc, and iron. Essential Trading’s Phil Lee said: “It’s not every day that we get the chance to introduce something completely new to the UK, and to bring a transformative meat-free option to British tables. We look forward to developing delicious recipe ideas for our customers and discovering new ways to cook with this exciting organic ingredient.”
DELICIOUS NEW VEGAN OPTIONS FROM VBITES
Heather Mills’ company VBites has announced four new additions to its range of 100 per cent plant-based foods. New products making their debut are VBites’ BBQ pulled ‘pork’, piri piri burgers, lemon and black pepper scampi style bites and vegetables bake fingers. “Piri piri burgers and pulled pork have grown rapidly in popularity in recent years and there was a gap in the market for good quality vegan alternatives that have all the taste and texture of the ‘real thing’ yet are meat free,” says Sonia Marshall, business development manager at VBites. “There are also very few scampi style products on the market. The vegetable fingers are a new departure for us - we decided to launch them in retail packs after they proved particularly popular when we introduced them onto school lunch menus back in September.” Like all products in the VBites range, the new lines are free from meat, egg, dairy, lactose, casein, cholesterol, hydrogenated fats, artificial colours and GMOs.
