Planteneers Develops Three-Layer Plant-Based Bites With No Meat or Dairy Template

Planteneers has developed Culinary Balls, a concept for bite-sized plant-based products made from a base, filling, and coating with no specific meat or dairy reference point. The light mousse filling contains 40% vegetables and offers freeze-thaw and bake stability, allowing for versatility in other products. Flavor options include Mediterranean, sweet-and-savory, and fermented profiles like pumpkin kimchi.

The balls, which can be cooked in an air fryer, cater to consumer demand for variety and smaller portions, particularly among single-person and senior households. With a focus on clean label ingredients and high protein and fiber content, Planteneers' multilayered textured products offer a crunchy exterior and creamy filling, appealing to both confectionery and savory product trends.
