🐟 This is a sponsored recipe * [what is this?]
Gone are the days when “vegan seafood” was nothing more than an oxymoron – a distant dream, even. Now, after two years of research and development, fishless fish producers Current Foods are making waves. Bringing together ingredients like algae, pea protein, bamboo, and potato, the team at Current Foods have perfected vegan tuna, right down to the look, taste, and feel.
Unlike some other plant-based products, Current Foods’ Original Tuna Cubes pull through with nutritional benefits too. They’re rich in iron and B12 – and boast 175mg of omega-3 per packet – whilst remaining free from artificial flavors, microplastics, and mercury. Gluten-free and pregnancy-friendly, the only downside is that the vegan tuna is not (yet) available worldwide.
Until then, those in the US are in luck, and can purchase the product online. In Spain, Current Foods will soon be available at La Sirena, whilst Poke House locations around Italy all stock Current’s fish-free fish.
