With BBQ season well and truly upon us, the United Kingdom-based supermarket chain Asda has taken it upon itself to offer a perfectly timed new plant-based sausage that is designed to make it easier than ever for vegans and people interested in delving into vegan cuisine to enjoy a deliciously juicy barbecued sausage without the accompanying guilt associated with animal meat-based products.
The 'Plant Based by ASDA Mushroom Sausages' are crafted with a carefully balanced combination of mushrooms, soya protein concentrate, dark green speckled lentils and other ingredients that make them ideal for vegans. Packed with protein and very low in saturated fat, these plant-based sausages can be refrigerated or frozen, ensuring they're always available when it's time to heat up that BBQ.
