TiNDLE, the first plant-based chicken specifically created by and for chefs, is debuting The Food Network and Cooking Channel's annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival alongside James Beard award-winning chef and culinary personality, Rocco DiSpirito. This plant-based alternative is exceptionally easy for culinary professionals to work with and it shares similar tastes, textures and aromas to real poultry. TiNDLE gets its distinctive flavor from Lipi, the company's proprietary emulsion of plant-based ingredients.
TiNDLE can now be found at a pair of popular Miami restaurants, Little Brazil and Minty Z. While TiNDLE Parmigiano and Crispy TiNDLE with Garlic Butter can be enjoyed at Miami Beach's Little Brazil, Minty Z serves up pan-fried TiNDLE Chicken & Mushroom Potstickers, which are rich in umami flavors.
