Franklin Farms Plant Based Ground
What it is
It is designed to mimic the texture and appearance of traditional ground beef, making it a versatile ingredient for a variety of dishes. The product is pre-seasoned, offering a savory flavor profile that complements many cuisines. It comes in a convenient package for easy use in everyday cooking.
How people cook with it
This plant-based ground is ideal for replacing traditional ground meat in your favorite recipes. It offers a similar texture and cooks up much like ground beef.
- Taco filling
- Pasta sauce base
- Burger patties
- Shepherd's pie topping
To prepare, simply heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the plant-based ground and break it apart with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and lightly browned, which typically takes about 5-7 minutes. You can then incorporate it into your chosen recipe, just as you would with cooked ground meat. It absorbs flavors well, so feel free to add your favorite seasonings or sauces during the cooking process.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some plant-based grounds that may have a softer texture, this product aims for a firmer, more crumbly consistency similar to cooked ground beef. Its pre-seasoned nature also means it requires less additional flavoring compared to unseasoned plant-based options.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a plant-based option to enjoy familiar meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion in an airtight container. It should be consumed within 3-4 days to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure it is kept cold to prevent spoilage.
