Texturised Pea Protein.

Novo Farina’s pea protein ingredients have become a key part of our weekly menus. The versatility and neutral taste allow us to create a variety of plant-based and hybrid dishes, from crumbles to Greek-style recipes and rich pasta ragus. Their sustainable and allergen-free credentials align perfectly with our focus on delivering quality meals without compromise. It’s a product that performs consistently and lets us flavour it on our own terms.

At King’s College London, we’re proud to offer a menu that’s around 70% plant-based across our outlets, with dishes tailored to our diverse student community. Novo Farina’s Pea Mince has been a standout ingredient, performing exceptionally well in saucy, mince-based dishes like stews and curries. Its neutral taste, nutritional balance, and versatility make it a valuable addition to our plant-based offering, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and quality. As we continue to reduce reliance on ultra-processed foods and prioritise balanced, familiar meals, ingredients like this help us meet those goals.

Switching from Quorn to Novo Farina’s Pea Mince has been a fantastic choice for our school menus. It’s not only a healthier and more sustainable option but also incredibly versatile, working well across dishes like curries, wraps, and burgers. The texture is enjoyable, the flavour shines through, and it’s been well-received by our students. By offering small samples and making dishes visually appealing, we’ve encouraged more students to try and enjoy plant-based meals, helping us meet our goals for nutrition, affordability, and sustainability.

When we introduced Novo Farina’s Pea Mince to our school menus, even our chefs were pleasantly surprised by how well it performed. Its taste, texture, and versatility allowed us to create dishes like vegetarian cottage pie that were not only enjoyed by students but also delivered on our commitment to nutrition and sustainability. As a school that takes both health and environmental responsibility seriously, ingredients like pea mince are helping us strike the balance between offering variety, maintaining nutritional standards, and meeting student expectations. It’s a product that truly holds its own on our menus.

Samples of the Quick Hydrate Pea Mince gratefully received and converted into several dishes to showcase to our customers. There is a lot of interest, particularly from the education sector and I am very impressed with the product!

When I received the sample at the LBA Safety event, I was intrigued but admittedly a little skeptical. As a vegan, I decided to try it at home for dinner with my daughter - and I was blown away by the taste, texture, and how much she enjoyed it without even questioning what she was eating! I knew instantly that this was something special. I took the second sample straight back to the office and encouraged our team to progress the listing. This product genuinely solves a key challenge for many of our school and catering customers: how to deliver nutritious, tasty meals at a low cost while meeting sustainability goals. It’s safe to say this is a hero product for us.
