Shroomeats' Mushroom Balls are plant-based meatball alternatives that are free from cholesterol, naturally low in fat, packed with protein and made with just a handful of real ingredients. These meatless balls just as easy to enjoy as a quick snack as they are used to make a hearty and nourishing weeknight meal.
Shiitake mushroom, pea protein, sunflower oil, salt, pepper and potato flour are the only ingredients that fuel the vegan, gluten-free and all-natural formula, and as the brand states, the Shroomeats Balls boast "Less saturated fat than beef and more simple ingredients than Beyond Meat."
This mushroom-based meat alternative recently shown at Natural Products Expo East 2023 makes the most of mushrooms as an abundant source of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and beta-glucans. Alternatively, Shroomeats also offers shreds and patties powered by shiitake mushrooms.
