US-based neat Foods has launched of a new line of vegetarian meat replacement products made from all-natural, gluten-free ingredients such as pecans, beans, and organic cornmeal.
The first shelf-stable soy-free meat alternative to be rolled out will feature three flavors including Mexican Mix, Italian Mix and Original. Neat will officially debut at the Natural Products Expo East in Baltimore on 26 September. It is currently available for sale nationwide on Amazon.com and in select grocery stores.
In order to develop the products, net co-founder Laura Lapp started experimenting with meat replacement recipes in order to provide nutritious, yet tasty meals.
Seeking to use only essential ingredients in her recipe, Laura adjusted a combination of all-natural, chemical-free and wholesome foods throughout the recipe development phase to obtain a flavor and consistency that closely mimicked ground beef.
neat is made by combining the product with two tablespoons of water and two eggs (or vegan egg replacement) before browning the mixture like ground beef in a non-stick skillet.
The company noted that a 5.75 oz. bag will retail for $3.99, comparable to one pound of ground beef when prepared - making it an easy replacement for ground beef in popular recipes like burgers, chili, meatballs, and tacos.
Neat offers all-natural, nut-based, soy and gluten-free meat replacement products to consumers seeking to eliminate meat in their diet.
