As more consumers seek to consume less meat in an effort to live a more sustainable lifestyle, many brands have launched plant-based substitute products including Gardein, who recently debuted its new spicy vegan Gochujang Style Chick'n Wings.
The Korean-inspired vegan chicken wings are made with a proprietary blend of wheat and pea protein that is coated in an ancient grain flour breading. The plant-based frozen product is perfect to serve to guests as an appetizer, to add into stir fry dishes, or to incorporate into wraps.
The vegan Gochujang Style Chick'n Wings are only one product in Gardein's line of plant-based foods -- the 'Ultimate' range of vegan products also includes breakfast patties, sliced Italian sausage, and burgers. Gardein's Ultimate food range is one of the leading frozen vegan food lines, only trailing behind Kellogg Company’s Morningstar Farms.
