Made with 100% yellow peas, the NovoTex range has been developed to offer a clean label, gluten-free alternative to soya and wheat-based meat replacement products.
NovoTex products provide a responsibly grown protein solution that can be used to develop and complement plant-based dishes and reduce the meat content in meals, without compromising on taste and mouthfeel.
Putting the ‘pea-zazz’ in school meals
Novo Farina have recently collaborated with local authority service provider Norse Catering to develop a reduced meat content Bolognese with their NovoTex mince.
The recipe application was praised by Norse for helping them incorporate more climate friendly and sustainable working practices to further reduce their carbon impact. Cool Food Pro calculated the results of an initial trail as having a significant reduction in Norse’s CO2e, an improvement in water quality and biodiversity saving.
