Innovative Plant-Based Food Brands

Black Sheep Foods Adds More Flavor to the Plant-Based Diet

— March 6, 2023 — Marketing
Black Sheep Foods is "the newest innovator and pioneer of plant-based wild and heritage meats." In a bid to encourage Americans to eat healthier and more sustainably, the company focuses on flavor profiles and uncommon plant-based meats to push the boundaries of the industry. Instead of beef, chicken, and pork varieties that dominate the contemporary plant-based market, Black Sheep Foods boasts options like lamb, boar, and duck—all "centerpieces of the world's family dishes and delicacies alike." These unconventional plant-based meat offerings are sure to elevate both home dishes and chef offerings.

Black Sheep Foods is transparent with its ingredient composition, utilizing Pomegranate and Beets for color, Gamey Grains for taste, Potato and Bamboo for bite, Cocoa Butter for juiciness, and Peas for protein.
