Elmhurst 1925, renowned for its premium plant-based dairy products, proudly unveils its latest breakthrough: TerraMeat™ Plant-Based Chick’n. This innovative plant-based chicken alternative features an exceptionally clean ingredient list and provides outstanding protein delivery, reinforcing Elmhurst’s dedication to setting new standards in simplicity and nutrition within the plant-based food sector. TerraMeat™ offers 26 grams of complete protein from a single, straightforward ingredient.
Developed by pioneering food scientist Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, TerraMeat™ Plant-Based Chick’n begins with a single, sustainable ingredient: hemp protein. Sourced from industrial hemp, a drought-resistant crop that uses significantly less water than other fiber plants, this protein is created using Elmhurst 1925’s patented HydroRelease™ method. This technique starts with hemp grain and utilizes only water to extract its natural protein into a highly digestible and functional powder, preserving the full nutritional profile of hemp.
The product starts as a dry powder, allowing consumers to prepare their own fresh plant-based chick’n cutlets. By mixing the powder with water, a touch of oil, and a spice blend, then heating it in the microwave, TerraMeat™ Plant-Based Chick’n achieves the texture and layering of traditional meat without the need for fillers, texturizing agents, whiteners, or unnecessary additives.
Henry Schwartz, CEO of Elmhurst 1925, commented, “With the introduction of TerraMeat™ Plant-Based Chick’n, we bring the same innovation and commitment to quality that defined our plant-based dairy products. Consumers are increasingly seeking simple, clean-label alternatives to highly processed options. We are thrilled to offer a product that excels in taste, texture, and nutrition.”
TerraMeat™ Plant-Based Chick’n stands out with its minimal ingredient list, delivering 26 grams of complete protein per serving to keep you satisfied longer, and is soy-free. Once prepared, the cutlets can be grilled, baked, braised, or fried, offering versatility comparable to traditional chicken and appealing to both home cooks and professional chefs.
In line with Elmhurst’s sustainability efforts, TerraMeat™ Plant-Based Chick’n is Non-GMO Product Verified, gluten-free, dairy-free, OU Kosher, vegan, and crafted using the HydroRelease™ method, which upcycles waste into energy and is powered by 100% renewable hydroelectric power.
Elmhurst’s commitment to sustainability extends to its recycling program, which saves approximately 10,000 mature trees annually. The company has also transitioned from plastic to paper-based shipping materials for direct-to-consumer orders and uses PCR materials for molded fiberboard trays and scrap corrugate as protective filler.
The TerraMeat™ Plant-Based Chick’n Starter Kit is now available online at Elmhurst1925.com for $47.50. The kit includes 10 pouches of Plant-Based Chick’n Powder, 10 packets of Original Spice Blend, a silicone mixing cup, and a spatula, making it easy to prepare delicious, tender cutlets at home.
