Irish alternative protein company Plant-It recently attended its first international trade show, Plant Based World Expo, and exhibited its range of meatless products. The products range from chicken-free bites to meat-free burger patties and the brand is on the mission to become a leading food brand. As Noreen Gallagher, CEO of Plant-It, says, “Put simply, we make great tasting food that happens to be plant-based."
The innovative plant-based products are made using Texsol technology, which was inspired by bakery science. This technology transforms fiber and protein strands from various beans and lentils into useful formulas.
Ingredients like peas, beetroot, onion and quinoa are some of the wholesome ingredients that are prominently labeled on the front of the product packaging.
