These new CleanBean products have been introduced by Swees Plant Based Foods in Thailand as a series of meat alternatives that are crafted with taste, texture and nutrition in mind to strike a balance for foodies.
The products come in two varieties including The Beev Steaklets and the Chick*n Bites, which are each crafted using minimal ingredient and high-moisture extrusions (HME) technology. These aspects combine to achieve meat alternatives that have a meat-like texture to satisfying meat eaters and vegan consumers alike. The Beev Steaklets have 20.8-grams of protein with 7.6-grams of fiber per serving, while the Chick*n Bites have 22.8-grams of protein and 6.8-grams of fiber.
CEO Nick Frauenfelder commented on the new CleanBean products saying, "Tofu is good, but it’s not meat. I wanted something that would satisfy me and my meat-eating friends – a plant-based option that truly tastes and performs like meat, without compromising on health or ingredients."
