Peanut Meat Brand Haofood Unveils Vegan Pork Mince Soup Dumplings

Shanghai-based food tech brand Haofood, known for its plant-based chicken made from peanuts, has introduced vegan soup dumplings filled with peanut-based pork mince. The company, the first to use peanut protein as a base ingredient for plant-based meat, launched this as their second vegan meat product. These dumplings mimic the taste and texture of traditional xiaolongbaos, with a black truffle-flavored soup and a high protein and fiber content, free of trans fats.

Haofood's journey began in 2020, aiming to help reduce meat consumption while maintaining the pleasure of familiar dishes. They have since expanded their portfolio to include variations of plant-based chicken products and have partnered with restaurants and retailers in China. The introduction of these peanut-based dumplings adds to the growing trend of vegan dumplings in Asia, with other brands like OmniPork and Plant Sifu also offering plant-based options in the market.
