Tip #4 – Go Plant-Based

Cindy Wong, VP of Sales at Franklin Farms

Plant-based eating has surpassed its early beginnings as a trend and is now a way of life. Whether consumers choose to follow a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian lifestyle, the benefits of plant-based eating are endless.

Many people may think that plant-based foods don’t provide enough protein compared to their meat counterparts. However, plant-based foods like soy contain good sources of plant protein. For example, one serving of Franklin Farms’ Barbeque Veggie Patty provides 9 grams of protein, and one serving (3oz) of Tuscan Tomato Fusion Tofu delivers 11 grams of protein. In addition, soy protein is easy for our bodies to digest and contains all 9 essential amino acids. 

If you’re just starting to explore the plant-based sections at your local grocery store, you may feel intimidated by the variety on offer. However, Franklin Farms' plant-based options focus on making plant-based eating accessible for everyone, without sacrificing flavor. Ready-to-eat tofu options, like our Fusion Tofu and Tofu Bites, help close the gap for consumers who may not know how to prepare tofu at home. New innovative products, like Chickpea Tofu and Fusion Tofu, have unlimited application ideas ranging from “Chickpea Tofu Fries” to “Italian Fusion Tofu Pasta.”

Our goal at Franklin Farms is to provide foods suitable for all meals. From breakfast to lunch, snack time and dinner, Franklin Farms has you covered!

This appetizing Fusion Tofu is just one of many delicious flavors offered by Franklin Farms:
