Plant-Based Fish Alternatives

The Banana Blossoms by Upton's Naturals are a Substitute for Fish

— March 12, 2020 — Lifestyle
Upton's Naturals makes a range of plant-based alternatives like jackfruit and seitan that can be enjoyed in place of traditional meat products and one of the newest additions to its portfolio is Banana Blossom. While jackfruit and seitan can be used to replicate the texture of pork, chicken or beef, banana blossom is emerging as a vegan-friendly alternative to fish.

Banana blossom is made from the flowers that grow at the end of a cluster of bananas and it is sometimes packaged in a can. By choosing a different packaging style for its Banana Blossom, Upton's Naturals notes that its "Banana Blossom comes quartered and packed in a retort pouch, so the pieces stay in tact more like a filet." On the reverse side of the pouch, consumers will find a fish n' chips-style recipe.
