Franklin Farms introduces a new line of frozen, functional plant-based burgers, called A9ΩTM (Alpha Nine Omega). They’re 100% plant-based, non-GMO, cholesterol free and are made with tofu/soy to provide nine essential amino acid and nutrients, protein, and a great texture. Each easy-to-prepare patty provides 15-17 grams of plant-based protein per 2.5oz patty, more protein content than many other traditional frozen veggie burgers, and are available in a variety of global flavor profiles to fit consumers’ taste.
When sisters Mafe and Coco moved to the U.S. from Venezuela, something was missing that they just couldn’t live without: arepas, a gluten-free cornmeal toast alternative. Thus, began their journey to offer this staple to those wishing to bring the traditional flavors of Venezuelan culture to their home. Thicker than a tortilla, arepas are made from a pre-cooked cornmeal flour called Masarepa. They’re lightly cooked in a griddle until crispy on the outside yet still soft on the inside. Arepas are then filled or topped after cooking.
