The diet 'plant-based'is undoubtedly making a niche in the Spanish gastronomic market. More and more people are opting for a more respectful and conscious lifestyle, with the vegetable food as one of the most popular ways to achieve that goal. This is how they see it from the company Green & Great, who care not only about our Health, but also by the animal and planet welfare. With the intention of continuing to progress in the career of vegetable protein foods, which is going slowly but surely, the Spanish firm presents its new chicken-free burritos. Surprising for their flavor and texture, they are the first so they are made in Spain.
The path to plant food
"What we eat can change the world." That is the motto of Gonzalo Mijangos, founder and CEO of the company. It was after many years traveling the world and as many years dedicating himself to the food trade that he realized that the future -not only on food, but on the planet itself- depended, in part, on a more respectful and conscientious lifestyle. Discovered that some plant products they had high benefits for health, animals and the environment. It was then that he joined this movement and contributed his grain of sand with Green & Great.
The mission of this Spanish company? Show that you can get "everything the taste and the pleasure of the food they love and none of its drawbacks. " And what are those disadvantages? The climate change -livestock constitutes 18% of greenhouse gases- or waste of energy, among other. Under that premise, Green & Great presents its products'plant based', the healthy alternative to foods of animal origin.
Chicken-free burritos, the latest from Green & Great
Within its catalog of plant proposals, the company has presented its latest work: the NoPollo burritos with vegetables. The point is that they are the first “real” chicken-free burritos made in Spain; they are made from legumes and vegetables.
