At Natural Products Expo West 2023, Triton Algae Innovations unveiled innovative, Asian-style vegan pork dumplings that will be available to consumers under the Too Good To Be brand. This plant-powered dumpling features the company's non-GMO Hardtii algae in both the plant-based filling of the dumpling, as well as the wrapper. According to the company, the inclusion of this ingredient is what makes all the difference when it comes to replicating the taste and texture of meat.
Miller Tran, co-founder and VP of Too Good To Be Foods, said, "These dumplings will offer a new way of enjoying pork-style dumplings to everyone – vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters, flexitarians, omnivores, and truly all consumers who like delicious and healthy new foods."
