Plant-based meat substitutes used to be confined to the aisles of health food stores and stands in farmers markets. However, with the explosion in discussions around the environmental and health consequences of eating meat, plant-based foods are growing in popularity on an international level.
On this episode of Plant-Based Revolution we chat with celebrity chef Robyn Almodovar who is the corporate chef leading Future Foods plant-based brand PAOW! which is an acronym for People And Our World. We talk to Almodovar about the brand’s vision to educate and inspire a lifestyle movement by leading the plant-based protein shift globally.
Almodovar says, PAOW! is a clean label with only three ingredients, soy, salt, and water. She says she joined forces with the locally made in the United States brand because of where the world is going, there is not enough protein. Almodovar adds, that PAOW! is for everyone including meat eaters, vegetarians, and flexitarians.
Almodovar talks about how versatile PAOW! is as an ingredient, if a recipe calls for a protein you could use PAOW! and cook and prepare it the same way. She says, Chef Style is a plant-based protein that provides a texture that can be cooked and flavored any way you want. You can sauté, smoke, sous vide, grill, and more.
When it comes to restaurants incorporating more plant-based ingredients into their menu, Almodovar says, PAOW! is definitely economical and delivers a hundred percent yield and greatly improves cost efficiency. She adds, PAOW! can accommodate a restaurant's needs by offering different sizes and cuts.
