Giorgio Foods recently introduced its Savory Wild Portabella Jerky as an all-new mushroom snack that's savory, plant-based and a better-for-you alternative to unhealthy dried meat strip snacks.
The vegan-friendly Savory Wild Portabella Jerky is available in three flavors, including Roasted Garlic & Black Pepper, Sweet Balsamic & Golden Fig, as well as Sesame, Ginger & Korean Chili. The handcrafted mushroom snacks champion whole food ingredients and exclude all artificial ingredients, hydrogenated oils and preservatives. Naturally, the snacks are gluten-free, low in calories and rich in minerals, with each bag containing more than a half of a pound of mushrooms, pre-dehydration.
An increased demand for plant-based snacks has inspired a number of brands to create inventive jerky alternatives, using a wide range of fruits, vegetables and fungi as satisfying, flavorful and texture-rich substitutes for meat.
