Plant Protein Products
The technique used to produce these products is like the production of pasta. Flour and water are mixed, the dough is kneaded, heated up and with the help from different sized nozzles, shape and size is determined. In the same manner as pasta is produced in many different shapes and sizes.
These Plant Mate products can replace meat in most dishes.
As a dry product the protein content is 53%. They need to absorb water, marinade, broth, or another kind of liquid before being served. 100 g of the product will weigh around 250 g after having soaked in a liquid and the protein content in the soaked plant protein will be 18%.
The fat content is low, 4%, and the dietary fibre content high, 15%.

Slices
Suitable for marinating and/or roasting to use in a wide variety of dishes. As topping in salad, in soup or wraps, in fricassee, and much more.
Slices keep both structure and shape even when stored for a long time in liquid/sauce.
Soak time is 10 minutes.
Can be delivered in small retail bags, bags of 1 kg, loose in cartons of 7,5 kg, and in big bags.
Shreds
Good as an all-round substitute for minced meat. Shreds have a particularly good binding ability and are, therefore, suitable for plant based pattys and for pattys/plantballs/burgers where shreds are mixed with minced meat.
Soak time is 2 minutes.
Can be delivered in bags of 1,25 kg, loose in cartons of 8,5 kg, and in big bags.
Flakes
Works well in many of the pot dishes where slightly softer pieces are desired, such as stews where it’s traditional to use pork or poultry.
Soak time is 10 minutes.
Can be delivered in bags of 1,25 kg, loose in cartons of 8 kg, and in big bags.
Mince
In shape and size, it resembles old fashioned hand-minced meat – irregular pieces. Suitable for ragout, for sauce in tartlets, many pot dishes, and just like the other variants, it is suitable for marinating.
Soak time is 5 minutes.
Can be delivered in bags of 1,25 kg, loose in cartons of 8,5 kg, and in big bags.
Mince Mini
Good as a substitute for minced meat and strips in a broad variety of dishes, such as pan seared Facon, marinated pieces on pizza, or marinated and roasted until crispy in kebab/pirogue and the like.
Soak time is 3 minutes.
Can be delivered in small retail bags, bags of 1,25 kg, loose in cartons of 7 kg, and in big bags.
Strips
For wok dishes, as pizza topping, as ‘ham’ strips, for deep-frying with tempura batter, for crispy fried Facon, and as marinated and roasted on soups. Works brilliantly in the soup as well!
Soak time is 8 minutes.
Can be delivered in small retail bags, bags of 0,7 kg, loose in cartons of 4,5 kg, and in big bags.
Granulate 8020
Small pieces that are highly suitable for Bolognese, lasagne, and the like – and especially for small children. Granulate 8020 has more bite and is firmer than Granulate 1000.
Soak time is 4 minutes.
Can be delivered in bags of 1,75 kg, loose in cartons of 12 kg, and in big bags.
Granulate Soft/1000
This variant is made from 100% peas. It means that it becomes softer when cooked than Granulate 8020, which also contains faba beans. Granulate 1000 is, therefore, suitable for very young children, and works well in pâtés, hummus, bread, cakes, where there isn’t a need for ‘bite’ in terms of texture.<
Soak time is 3 minutes.
Can be delivered in bags of 1,75 kg, loose in cartons of 12 kg, and in big bags.
Granulate Mini 1000/Protein Mini
Very small pieces that work well in bread, cakes, protein bars, candy, hummus, and pâté. Would also work as a ‘raw’ food sprinkle on oatmeal, desserts, or in muesli that is eaten without soaking or heating it.
Soak time is 2 minutes.
Can be delivered in small retail bags, in bags of 1,75 kg, loose cartons of 12 kg, and in big bags.
Nano Strips
These very thin and fine pieces, like shreds, are also good binders. Therefore, they are suitable for making pattys or plantballs. They become particularly crispy when roasted at high heat with a small amount of coconut oil, smoked paprika, and salt for Facon! They can also be coated in chocolate and sprinkled on cakes, desserts, or sprinkled on food plain.
They don’t need soaking, but can soak in liquid with spices for 2 minutes.
Can be delivered loose in 5 kg cartons and in big bags.
Chunks
The large chunks are suitable to soak and blend into smaller pieces that resemble pieces of meat. Chunks are also good for making skewers, dishes cooked in the oven, and as ‘pulled meat’.
Soak time is 30 minutes. Keep under liquid using a plate or something similar.
Can be delivered in bags of 850 g, loose in cartons of 6 kg, and in big bags.
Bites
Bites are highly suitable for blending and making salads, such as tuna-free mousse, chicken-like salad, mackerel-free salad, and any other creamy type of salad. They also work really well in pot dishes and as marinated oven-roasted pieces.
Soak time is 15 minutes.
Can be delivered in bags of 1 kg, loosely in cartons of 7,5 kg, and in big bags.
