The award-winning Indian brand Plantaway is expanding its product lineup to include new plant-based pepperoni and sausages.
Ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians alike, the new meat alternatives are both made from plant-based pea protein. The pepperoni product comes in a sliced format and is described as having a "crisp exterior and a juicy, tender bite," which makes it perfect for at-home pizzas. On the other hand, the new plant-based sausage product is grill-friendly and described as having "a savory and juicy interior." In addition to being a great source of protein, both products are free of preservatives and are rich in dietary fiber.
Both the new plant-based pepperoni and sausages can be purchased from Plantaway’s website, but they are also available through food delivery apps like Swiggy and Zomato.
