In recognition of its breakthrough status as the first plant-based bacon to harness techniques providing the genuine flavor and texture of bacon, Thrilling Foods Bakon™ has just been awarded a U.S. Patent, with other U.S. and international patents pending. This first-of-its-kind technology alternates lean protein with protein-bound fatty streaks, which will allow the Bakon™ to render and fry in its own fat like conventional pork bacon, and infuse it with natural umami flavors.
As a finishing touch, Thrilling Foods unites these elements with a traditional salt-and-smoke cure to provide the taste and texture bacon lovers crave.
A Thrilling Balance of Indulgence and Nourishment
The mission to create the perfect plant-based bacon that would convert the most ardent of “but bacon though” folks sprung lifelong cook and culinary innovator David Jones into action. Over the course of 18 months in COVID-lockdown, Jones created Bakon™ — the first low carbohydrate, high protein, plant-based bacon. Just like its animal-based counterpart, Bakon™ is the only dry salt and smoke-cured plant-based bacon in the marketplace. “If it’s not cured, it’s not going to taste right!” enthuses Jones.
Bakon™ features only wholesome ingredients that provide a complete, healthy protein for plant-based diets. These include non-GMO soy milk, RSPO-certified sustainably-harvested palm oil without causing deforestation, and other recognizable, easily-pronounceable ingredients.
Fun fact for our science enthusiasts – Thrilling Foods has also developed a breakthrough protein structure that holds the zero cholesterol fat within the protein structure, releasing it during cooking from the outside in, much like the way animal fats are released during cooking!
A Thrilling Future for Pigs, Planet, and People
The overwhelming enthusiasm and strong demand for Bakon™ is fueling Thrilling Foods’ growth into a third expansion facility, which is scaled to produce over two thousand pounds of Bakon™ per day. With trailblazing businesses like these, it won’t be long before the world celebrates the magic and marvels of plants on their plates.
Patrons are invited to get their hands on these game-changers on the company’s website, where you can also find if you are a lucky resident in a city that carries Bakon™ at a store near you.
