Nasoya, which makes a range of innovative tofu products, Asian noodles and wraps, recently added to its product collection with two new kinds of all-vegetable dumplings. These vegan-friendly options were developed to satisfy the growing demand for plant-based protein and at the same time, suit consumers of all dietary preferences. The dumplings have the potential to be enjoyed as everything from appetizers to snacks, making them all the more versatile and a convenient option to keep on hand in the kitchen.
The new ready-to-cook Tofu Vegetable Dumplings and Thai Basil Dumplings from Nasoya are both vegan, organic and feature fillings of various greens, veggies and tofu.
These new vegan dumplings aim to make "plant-based protein as simple and accessible as possible," with the varieties offering between six to seven grams of protein per serving.
