Nowadays' clean-label vegan nuggets can be enjoyed as an alternative to classic chicken nuggets and they promise an experience that's "100% tasty. 100% plant-based. 0% junk." The seven-ingredient nuggets take their shape thanks to yellow peas, whole wheat flour, maple fiber, sunflower oil, yeast extract, mushroom extract and water. With 13 grams of protein and 120 calories per serving, these plant-based nuggets by Nowadays help people to make healthier choices, all the while enjoying a meat-like taste and texture.

Peas provide the base for many meat-free products and working with this ingredient, in particular, provides a great-tasting alternative to familiar products that many consumers are no longer willing or able to consume, based on their dietary needs or preferences.
