gardein™ Shares a Meat-free ‘Fireworks Menu’ ideal for
Fourth of July Family Gatherings
VANCOUVER, B.C. (June 28, 2010) —gardein™, the leader in healthy and great-tasting plant-based foods, is helping Americans celebrate the Fourth of July with a fun and easy-to-prepare ‘Fireworks Menu’ perfect for backyard parties.
“Especially during the summer months people love to enjoy the outdoors; barbequing and just having fun with their family and friends,” said Yves Potvin, president of Garden Protein International, maker of gardein™. “We believe this is an ideal time to focus on eating more healthy foods like fresh fruits, vegetables from the garden and meat-free foods as an alternative to meat.”
gardein™’s meat-free and dairy-free menu uses gardein™ bbq pulled shreds, a tasty and cholesterol-free vegetable protein, as the main ingredient for slider sandwiches and includes recipes for grilled corn on the cob, creamy coleslaw, patriotic parfaits with fruit and summertime lemonade.
gardein™ is a good choice for individuals who are looking to reduce their intake of meat and improve their diet as it is a tasty cholesterol-free and high-protein food with a meaty texture. It has also been well-documented that going meat-free once a week is a significant action an individual can take to protect the environment. Today, gardein™ is available in a variety of styles, fresh and frozen as well as single serve meals, and is sold in the produce cooler and freezer section of thousands of natural food stores and grocery stores across the country.
