There’s a new, vegan taco stuffer in town, and it’s made from fava beans. Upton’s Naturals Fava Taco Style Crumbles is a plant-based product great for filling crunchy taco shells or wrapping into a burrito, layering over chips for loaded nachos, or cooking up a healthy breakfast scramble. High in protein (9 grams per serving), plus low in fat and calories, the tasty crumbles are ready to enjoy after just a few minutes in the frying pan. The heat-and-eat meat alternative is also 100% vegan, certified plant based, Kosher Pareve, and free of gluten, soy, oil, added sugar, and cholesterol.
Fava beans, also known as broad beans, are one of the oldest known cultivated plants. They have a slightly sweet, earthy flavor and are loaded with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, including potassium and calcium. Upton’s Naturals adds a custom blend of taco seasonings, bringing a familiar mainstream flavor to the crumbles, which mimic the mouthfeel and texture of slow-cooked ground beef.
