Hormel's debuted the 'Plant-Based Chili with Beans,' a new vegetarian offering for chili enthusiasts that boasts an authentic texture. As opposed to using beef, this vegetarian chili uses a textured vegetable protein that offers a similar mouthfeel to beef. In addition to this, the chili includes a soy-based crumble to add a level of toughness and crunch that many plant-based proteins do not contain on their own.
The Hormel Plant-Based Chili with Beans is perfect for vegetarians, flexitarians, and customers curious about the world of alternative meat products. On top of being vegetarian, the chili is also egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and BPA-free, meaning it appeals to a wide variety of dietary restrictions. The Hormel Plant-Base Chili with Beans is available now at approximately $2.50 USD per can at Amazon's online store.
