Pulled and Shredded Nordic Proteins

There is so many ways to eat nowadays! Some eat everything that moves, some eat vegetarian and fish, some eat the paleo way, some prefer it raw, and some are even pure vegan. Whatever your personal choice may be, there are often two questions that every now and then may come to your mind: where to get the proteins and what to cook for guests with different eating habits.

Fortunately, there is now a Nordic answer to that question! Gold&Green Foods have just launched a pulled and shredded oat & bean product. By combining Nordic products with old Asian production methods, a new and delicious product packed with proteins have emerged! It contains sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids as well as good fatty acids and fibres. Hence, it is sure to make any protein aware meat lover happy while sharing it with his/her good vegan friend, because unlike e.g. quorn, this product is 100% animal free. 

There is also good news when it comes to sustainability. Oat is one of the most ecological crops in the world. It grows as a happy plant on the fields of Finland and Sweden, enjoying the fresh Nordic climate with light and cold summer nights and some fresh showers every now and then. Hence, there is no negative impact on any rainforest anywhere. Also, oat and beans are like good friends out on the field, with beans producing nitrogen to the soil that the oats will utilise the year after. And there is absolutely no GMO even getting close to these buddies! And when it comes to manufacturing, only mechanical processing such as mixing, pressing, and heating is used!

Cooking with the pulled and shredded oat product is thoroughly straightforward. Just eat it as such or throw it on the pan with some oil, shuffle it in the oven or quickly sneak it into the microwave - whatever suits you best! You do not have to be a master vegan chef to master this product! Just prepare it like you would prepare anything else you are familiar with. No soaking or sprouting or standing on your head is necessary - you are good to go from the start! 

At the moment, the product is still tested in restaurants and food retail stores. It seems to be popular too, as it only took 4 minutes to sell out at the K-market store in Turku, Finland. Check out this video on twitter to see the buzz!
