In many regions of India, restaurants serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Plant-based products and meat substitutes are necessary for places where vegetarian foods are more of a social and cultural norm. The consumer demand for products catering to such a need is only growing by the day.
Walnuts have the unique ability to be transformed through chopping, cooking, seasoning, and roasting and become the ideal meat substitute for a variety of culinary wants. They offer healthy fats and a soft meaty texture which can delight vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian consumers looking for healthy options.
Walnuts, when combined with spices, legumes, dried beans or mushrooms, become an excellent ground meat substitute for burger patties, hotdogs, kebabs, meatballs and spaghetti bolognese. Also, by using walnuts as a sausage and chicken replacement for salads, baked potatoes, wraps, and tacos, the Indian market in recent years has turned to exciting experimentation that rivals the non-vegetarian platter.
California Walnuts as spreads and sauces
Nut butter and spreads have become increasingly popular, and walnut spreads are among the healthiest choices thanks to their high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for total-body health.
