New York-based Elmhurst 1925, a plant-based dairy products developer, has introduced TerraMeat Plant-Based Chick’n, an advanced plant-based chicken alternative.
TerraMeat Plant-Based Chick’n features a clean ingredient list and protein content to bring simplicity and nutrition to the plant-based food sector.
Food scientist Cheryl Mitchell developed it with 26g of complete protein derived from a single ingredient, hemp protein.
The protein is sourced from industrial hemp and processed using Elmhurst 1925’s patented HydroRelease method. This technique uses only water to extract the natural protein from hemp grain, resulting in a digestible powder that preserves the full nutritional benefits of hemp.
TerraMeat comes in a convenient dry powder form, enabling consumers to create fresh plant-based chick’n cutlets at home.
The powder can be used by mixing it with water, a small amount of oil, and desired spices and then microwaving it.
It results in a meat-like texture without the need for fillers, texturising agents, whiteners, or other unnecessary additives commonly found in store-bought products.
Elmhurst 1925 CEO Henry Schwartz said: “With the launch of Elmhurst 1925 TerraMeat Plant-Based Chick’n, we are bringing the same innovation and commitment to quality that we brought to plant-based dairy.
“Consumers are increasingly seeking simple ingredients and clean-label alternatives to the ultra-processed options on the market. We couldn’t be prouder to offer a product that excels in taste, texture, and nutrition.”
In addition, Elmhurst 1925’s TerraMeat Plant-Based Chick’n is soy-free, making it suitable for those with soy sensitivities.
Once prepared, the offering can be grilled, baked, braised, or fried, offering the same versatility as traditional chicken, and catering to both home cooks and professional chefs.
Elmhurst 1925’s TerraMeat Plant-Based Chick’n Starter Kit is now available online at the firm’s website for $47.5. The kit includes 10 pouches of Plant-Based Chick’n Powder, 10 packets of Original Spice Blend, a silicone mixing cup, and a spatula, to prepare cutlets.
In June, Revyve unveiled its plans to introduce a new egg-replacement ingredient for plant-based burgers.
