Garden Protein International Inc.—the makers of Gardein, the plant-based complete protein brand currently sold in more than 20,000 stores in North America—has launched its golden fishless filet. Rich in flavor and texture, this protein innovation also provides omega-3s with no cholesterol. The crispy and breaded fish-free product is available now at select U.S. retailers.
Each serving of the golden fishless filet (96g) contains 32mg of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. At 180 calories, each two-piece serving contains 9g of protein and is made with non-GMO soy, wheat and canola oil. The cholesterol-free, vegan and kosher filets are a healthy and convenient option for tacos, sandwiches, as a snack served with fries and coleslaw or a dinner served with rice and veggies, according to Gardein.
“Our consumers were asking for a meatless product that would replicate the classic fish and chips meal,” said Yves Potvin, founder of Gardein. “We spent a lot of time perfecting the flaky, moist texture on the inside and the crispy coating on the outside. I believe we’ve done it and I’m so excited to see people fall in love with it.”
