Humans put condiments on everything. What would you do if at a restaurant they didn’t give you anything to spread on your toast? Too dry, right? No condiment bar at burger joints? No little packets of condiments added to the take-out bag? Ketchup is popular, but could you live without mayonnaise? Would you want to?
It’s all about the ‘smooth’. Made with you in mind – throughout each stage of the engineering process – always wanting to improve your animal-free experience!
So, here you are! Take a gander!

PREMELTED VEGGIE CHEESE Ever have a problem getting your veggie cheese to melt in a grilled cheese sandwich without burning the bread – and even then many times it doesn’t melt throughout?

SPREADABLE CHEESE FOR SANDWICHES Textures and tastes like American mild cheddar singles before they were wrapped individually in plastic. It spreads easily, right from the refrigerator.

MARINATED SUN-DRIED TOMATOES There are two ways I marinate sun-dried tomatoes: One method produces a soft texture, the other produces a tougher texture.
PICKLED BEETS fat-free You don’t have to go through the entire canning process to make pickled beets. Prep, cook, place in a jar and refrigerate to use as wanted.
