Whether someone is fully committed to plant-based eating or just dabbling in a different way of nourishing themselves, they still want to partake in their favorite holiday traditions, making flavorful meatless alternative roasts like Prime Roots' Mycelium Turkey Roast a seasonal necessity.
While there are now many plant-powered roasts on the market for vegans and vegetarian consumers, this one stands out for its Whole Food Clean Protein Blend, a combination of mycoprotein, yeast, and koji, plus other ingredients like pea fiber, rice bran oil, and konjac root flour. The generously sized Prime Roots plant-based roast, which comes in at 2.25 pounds, is full of festive flavor from a touch of black pepper, lime, and sea salt, plus onion and garlic powder.
