Planet of Plants is a plant-based product range that is 100% of plant origin, and can be found on the markets of Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia. It tastes like we’re eating a burger or mayonnaise, but we’re actually eating plants. These products do not contain meat, milk, eggs or honey, but only plants – vegetables, fruits, seeds and grains, used in the preparation of food without sacrificing flavour in the slightest, and they are also soya and gluten free. They are intended for people who want to cut back on meat consumption, but still enjoy familiar flavours.
Some of the products that can be found in the Planet of Plants range are:
- salami made from sunflower protein, which also comes in a version with olives
- hot dogs with pea and potato protein as the main star
- burger, mince, and dumplings with pea protein as the main ingredient
- mayo with no eggs, made with psyllium husk fibre
- creamy dressing with ginger, turmeric, and cumin
- spread made from hemp oil and hemp seeds
- coconut fat made from coconut fruit, ideal for both savoury and sweet dishes
Plant-based diets are becoming increasingly popular. Protecting the environment, reducing global poverty levels, protecting animal life, and the positive effects on health are just some of the reasons why we are making the choice to include as many plant-based foods as possible on our menus.
A plant-based diet doesn’t have to be boring and is great for everybody who wants to make a change, without it being sudden and all at once. Today you can try Planet of Plants and tomorrow you will see. It is not necessary to completely eliminate animal products from our diet if you don’t want to, and we can still enjoy them occasionally in moderate quantities. However, the more we focus on eating plant-based foods, the more benefits we will have, especially when it comes to our health.
