Vgarden, Ltd., a foodTech developer and manufacturer of plant-based alternatives, announced a vegan canned tuna that is reportedly 100% plant-derived and has the same appearance, texture and flavor of the canned kitchen staple.
"Tinned tuna has a very distinct flaky, yet moist and chewy texture, with a powerful fresh-from-the sea aroma," explains Ilan Adut, CEO of Vgarden. "Our new tuna-like product is clean-label, scalable, affordable and sustainable. But for our plant-based creation to serve as a true substitute, even beyond compellingly mimicking all of the sensory qualities, it also has to match tuna as much as possible in nutritional value."
