This launches plant-based chicken thighs
Plant-based brand This has launched plant-based chicken thighs, available throughout the UK in Tesco from today. According to the brand, they are ‘the first nationally distributed plant-based chicken thighs on the market’.
Made from soya and fava bean protein, they are, according to the brand, high in both protein and fibre, and are developed using This’s extrusion tech. According to This, its protein fibres are bound together by a network of intramuscular fat and connective tissue, a structure which provides the product’s texture.
They are bound together with olive oil-based fat, and coated in a seaweed layer to replicate chicken skin.
"We're reinventing the way people experience plant-based dining and we’re incredibly excited to share our latest product launch, This Isn't Chicken Thighs. We’re on a mission to lead a revolution to change what people eat, to protect animals and the environment - and with our ridiculously delicious and nutritious plant-based food we’ve got you covered with the ultimate plant-based chicken thigh,” said Mark Cuddigan, CEO of This.
A pack of four is available now in Tesco at an RRP of £3.80.
