SIMMERED STEWS AND CURRIES
As a chef, you can add the pellets directly to stews or curries, where our pellets will soften and release their savoury flavour into the dish. Our Fava bean product is highly convenient; the pellets are easy to measure and store and the brine acts as a ready-to-use cooking liquid that eliminates the need to prepare a separate stock.
PASTA SAUCES AND GRAIN BOWLS
The pellets can be crushed and mixed into pasta sauces or grain bowls, adding a burst of savoury flavor and a chunky texture. Choose this ingredient to enhance vegetarian dishes and provide a “meaty” bite and deep umami flavour that pairs well with grains like quinoa or rice.

Acting as a natural thickener and stabilizer, they ensure the paste maintains its signature spreadable consistency and visual appeal.
