For World Ocean Month, Mind Blown teamed up with PLNT Burger to create a plant-based crab cake sandwich. Officially called the New Bay Crab Cake Sandwich, this new and limited-time addition to the vegan menu can be found at PLNT Burger’s seven locations around the DC Metro area.
From June 1st until Labor Day weekend, those who are interested in a new experience of alternative seafood can experience a summer sandwich made with Mind Blown’s protein-packed Maryland-Style Plant Based Crab Cake tossed in Old Bay and served with green leaf lettuce. For World Ocean Month, 1% of profits will be donated to the Coral Restoration Foundation to support the health of coral reefs around the world.
As concerns about overfishing, environmental impact and animal welfare intensify, consumers are increasingly seeking out seafood alternatives that offer comparable taste, texture, and nutritional value without compromising their values.
