Instant ramen noodle meals have a reputation for being low in cost but also low in nutritional value but consumers are beginning to see this comforting meal in a new light thanks to a new wave of nutritious products. Palmetto Gourmet Foods created Chef Woo as a plant-based instant ramen noodle meal with 20 grams of protein per serving. The noodles themselves are organic and they're united with non-GMO ingredients to form flavors like roasted chicken, braised beef,
Thai lemongrass and sweet chili Togarashi.
With Chef Woo, Reza Soltanzadeh, CEO of Palmetto Gourmet Foods says: "Many people want to add plant-based options to their diets but getting enough protein can be a challenge. Chef Woo is the perfect solution for flexitarians, vegetarians, vegan, really anyone who loves great tasting, nutritious food."
