Planteneers provides plant-based solutions for traditional street food dishes

Planteneers is offering functional systems for manufacturers to make purely plant-based versions of classic street food favourites like Bratwursts, hot dogs, and burgers, and burgers, easily and using conventional production and filling equipment.

Studies by Innova Market Insights indicate about 55 per cent of consumers worldwide patronise street food stands more than once a month. The fun of experimentation and new taste sensations are the main reasons, followed in third place by value for money.

Whether popular German bratwurst or all-time favourites like hot dogs, fiildMeat S 141501 can be used to make a wide variety of plant-based sausages.

The bratwursts can be grilled or fried, and can be presented as currywurst with sauce or as classic brats. The system also provides a basis for hot dogs. Planteneers offers solutions for suitable deli sauces, for a complete package.

Planteneers says food trucks, caterers, and restaurateurs can profit from the Oktoberfest season with this flexible system.

It can be used to make plant-based alternatives to Bavarian weisswurst and leberkäse, the latter hot as a slice on a bun or cold as a cold cut.

The functional system is based on peas and fava beans, hydrocolloids, and starch. Depending on customer preference, Planteneers supplies it as a solution to which the customer adds their own seasoning, or as a toolkit together with seasoning, flavour, and colour. One big advantage is that the system is free of phosphates, soy, and allergens.

Planteneers also offers soy- and phosphate-free solutions for plant-based burger patties. To go with them, the company offers a functional system with suitable recipe recommendation for burger sauce. The final product features the savory taste and creamy texture of a classic egg-based burger topping.

With some creativity, other channels in the OOH market can use these product concepts as well, since according to Innova Market Insights the appeal of street food now goes far beyond the food truck. More and more caterers and providers of packaged convenience food are responding to consumer wishes. Drawing inspiration from takeaway concepts, they are expanding their offerings.
