The Pepita Egg by Spero will soon be coming to Sprouts Farmers Markets across the United States and it promises to stand out as the first and only clean-label pourable egg alternative.
This product is made with just seven ingredients, one of which is pepitas (also known as pumpkin seeds) which are rich in zinc, iron, magnesium and also contain a comparable amount of protein as found in chicken eggs. This limited ingredient list is a point of pride for the brand, which states that most plant-based eggs on the market are made with an average of 13 to 30 ingredients.
This ready-to-pour product is ready to be used in all sorts of cooking and baking applications. From scrambles to omelets, this egg alternative is both allergy-friendly and free from cholesterol.
