Planet Based Foods, the first and only company to produce nutritious plant-based meat with sustainable hemp as its number-one ingredient, announced its first mainstream grocery distribution with Kroger.
“We’re introducing consumers to hemp as a superfood protein by featuring our plant-based meat in craveable and familiar formats like taquitos,” said Braelyn Davis, CEO and co-founder, Planet Based Foods. “Consumers are looking for convenient, plant-based options that they can easily heat for a quick snack or meal, and we’re delivering. We’re excited to partner with Kroger to make our better-for-you, better-for-the planet hemp foods available to shoppers across the Western region.”
With 4 grams of plant-based protein per serving, the Original and Southwest Taquitos feature Planet Based Foods’ superfood crumble with hemp as the number-one ingredient. Planet Based Foods’ products are GMO-free, soy-free and gluten-free — making them an ideal choice for shoppers who value clean ingredients, or have dietary sensitivities. Unlike other plant-based ingredients, hemp is a complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids — and is rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Planet Based Foods’ product line aims to establish hemp as a regenerative, carbon-negative ingredient with a strong nutritional profile.
“Everything we do at Planet Based Foods is guided by our vision for hemp to help create a sustainable food system that also nourishes people,” said Davis. “We need a new paradigm that prioritizes regenerative ingredients like hemp that restore soil health and fight climate change by storing carbon. Building Planet Based Foods into a successful, better-for-you brand is our path to demonstrate consumer demand for hemp as a nutritious, sustainable ingredient that can fuel the future of food.”
