Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of their food choices, especially as mainstream media and features like Seaspiracy continue to bring awareness to how our food system isn’t as sustainable as we thought it to be.
With Earth Day coming up on April 22nd, there are so many food choices and alternatives that contribute to a happier, healthier Earth. Sophie’s Kitchen is a great example of a popular plant-based brand that offers an alternative to the over-harvesting and the many negative impacts of overfishing our oceans, with their vegan seafood alternatives that mimic the flavors of the sea without the harm.
Sophie’s Kitchen is a leader in the plant-based seafood industry, being one of the first plant-based seafood brands on the market when it launched its “toona” over 10 years ago. Since then, Sophie’s Kitchen has continued to be an innovative player, consistently growing its range of offerings, as the plant-based industry continues to boom. The team strives to offer vegan alternatives that mimic its animal counterpart, so vegans and non-vegans alike will enjoy. They pride themselves in using better-for-you ingredients like konjac powder and pea protein, without using any lab-grown ingredients, soy, gluten, or GMOs as consumers might find in other plant-based options.
By opting for plant-based seafood over traditional seafood, consumers are helping displace the need to extract ocean life. According to United Nation; nearly 90% of world’s marine fish stock are exploited or depleted. Sophie’s Kitchen is helping make the transition to plant-base seafood easy by offering a variety of options like Crab Cakes, Breaded Shrimp, Canned ‘Toona’, Fish Fillets, and Smoked Salmon that are widely available at grocery stores like Walmart, Whole Foods and Sprouts.
