Affordable Plant-Based Patties

The Mainstream Plant-Based Patties are Competitively Priced

— October 6, 2020 — Lifestyle
Although many flexitarians are open to purchasing plant-based alternatives, the cost of products like plant-based patties are sometimes significantly more than the meats they take inspiration from. With its new Mainstream Plant-Based Patties, Before the Butcher is introducing a budget-friendly option that's packed with protein. These vegan and gluten-free patties are made with soy, coconut and canola oils, plus natural seasonings.

As Danny O’Malley, founder and president of Before the Butcher, says: "More consumers clearly are interested in meat alternatives, but until now plant-based meats have had a price tag that doesn’t fit many family budgets. The new Mainstream line provides an affordable option for people who aren’t able to pay nearly $3 apiece for a meatless burger."
