# Peanut Meat Dumplings Haofood's Vegan Dumplings Use Peanuts to Mimic Pork Mince By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2023-08-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-dumplings References: [vegconomist](https://vegconomist.com/food-and-beverage/meat-and-fish-alternatives/haofood-dumplings-peanut-meat-filling/) & [haofood.co](https://www.haofood.co/products/clean-label-series.html)  Haofood is introducing [vegan dumplings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shrimp-supreme-dumplings) in a black truffle flavor filled with soup and peanut meat to mimic the taste and texture of steamed minced pork. Ordinarily, [xiao](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-noodle-kit) long bao dumplings are filled with pork mince but this plant-based version serves as a satisfying alternative that's packed with protein, high in dietary fiber and free from trans fat. These nutritious, full-flavor dumplings are poised to support the growing alt-meat market in China. According to the company, peanut production is more resource-conscious than using other nuts because it requires less fertilizer and it's a zero-waste crop. As a whole, the Chinese company is focused on developing clean-label [plant-based meat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanbean-products), which means its products are free from artificial additives, preservatives, thickeners, water retention agents, colorings, flavorings and MSG.
