AKUA, a company that's dedicated to producing meat alternatives using regeneratively farmed and sustainable sourced kelp, has launched 'Krab Cakes,' a line of vegan crab cakes made predominantly from help.
The 'Krab Cakes' are made with a mix of kelp, cannellini beans, artichokes, celery, garlic, onion and Dijon mustard. They are said to be firm yet chewy in terms of their texture. In addition to being delicious and completely kelp and plant-based, these crab cake alternatives also happen to be exceptionally high in vitamins, minerals and protein and are free from gluten, dairy and soy.
These kelp-based vegan crab cakes are available for purchase on AKUA's website, where an amount of $119.99 fetches 16 'Krab Cakes.' Customers can also purchase eight 'Krab Cakes' and a dozen kelp burgers for a bundled price of $99.
Coming on the heels of the company's kelp jerky, burger patty and other offerings, these vegan crab cakes make for a creative application of kelp ingredients.
