This new plant-based sausage has been developed by Schouten Europe as a meat-based sausage alternative that achieves the taste and texture of traditional products using innovative ingredients. The sausage is reported to have a firm texture that’s achieved with proteins from wheat, soy and potato, while also maintaining juiciness thanks to an alt fat that isn’t animal-derived. This reportedly gives the product a well-rounded taste and texture, which is boosted with nutritional benefits like high fiber content and a low level of saturated fats.
R&D Manager Ruben Molenaar spoke on the new plant-based sausage saying, “This delivers an authentic sausage experience. Traditional sausages use an animal intestine as a casing, but we can now offer this in a fully plant-based way. The meat alternatives category is still relatively young, and we constantly explore ways to create better and healthier products.”
