The Nando's Vegan PERinaise is a plant-based alternative to the QSR restaurant's iconic sauce and spread hybrid.
Specializing in Portuguese-style chicken, the QSR brand is best known for its iconic PERi-PERi Sauce range, offered at restaurants and at select grocery store locations across the globe. In addition to its PERi-PERi Sauce in Lemon & Herb, Garlic, Medium, Hot and XX Hot varieties, the company launched a Vegan PERinaise condiment alongside its Original, Garlic and Hot flavors.
This tasty condiment can be used as a dressing, spread or dip, and addresses a growing consumer need for plant-based QSR offerings. The product features an egg-free and gluten-free recipe with batch featuring MSG or artificial colors. Every recipe is also made with "chilies that are grown at PERi-Farms in Southern Africa promoting sustainability and supporting micro-economies."
