Nestlé’s Maggi Rindecarne is a first-of-its-kind "meat extender" that takes the form of seasoned soy protein made to pair with animal-derived meat.
Most plant-based meat products are primarily aimed at vegetarians and vegans, though hybrid products that combine meat and mushrooms cater specifically to meat eaters seeking healthier alternatives. This product under Nestlé’s Maggi brand is an affordable option for helping animal-derived meat stretch further, and it does so with a base of soy protein, soy and wheat flour, plus other ingredients for flavor, taste and texture.
"Our team of experts and chefs developed a tailored solution which brings an equivalent amount of protein in an affordable way to consumers in Latin America,” says Swen Rabe, head of Nestlé's Product and Technology Center for Food. “Our innovation ensures the familiar taste and texture of mincemeat, is shelf-stable and easy-to-use.”
With this product's mix of soy and seasonings, home cooks can effectively double the portions they've already prepared with conventional minced beef at an affordable price point. The meat extender is currently only available in Chile.
