Jamaican plant-based patties are not new to vegetarians, who have adapted to eating either pre-made or made-from-scratch versions of the product that are filled with vegetables rather than beef. While there are typically vegetarian options sold alongside traditional Jamaican beef patties in stores, Golden Krust is introducing its own take on Jamaican-style plant-based patties with Beyond Meat.
The patties are made with the authentic Jamaican herb and spice mix that Golden Krust has been using for three decades and a flaky crust. These patties are being introduced as a better-for-you option, especially as they are made with Beyond Meat, which is prepared with a blend of pea, brown rice and mung bean proteins, plus other plant-based ingredients like beet juice and potato starch.
