Greggs launches new vegan version of one of its most popular bakes

Greggs has just announced another new vegan product is joining its shelves this summer and people are very excited. The bakery giant will be selling a vegan version of its sausage bean and cheese melt from August 5.

It's their third plant-based bake, after starting with the sell-out sensation that was the vegan sausage roll in 2019. The new vegan sausage, bean and 'CheeZe' melt will be available in more than 2000 shops nationwide next week, priced at £1.60. Greggs fans will also be able to order it through click and collect and on Just Eat.

Inside a golden puff pastry will be pieces of vegan sausage, two types of vegan 'cheese', and baked beans.

Wagamama Launches New Vegan Dishes With Tempeh Startup Plant Based news reported that restaurant chain Wagamama just introduced three new vegan dishes. The launch is thanks to a partnership between Wagamama and Club Cultured, London’s first-ever tempeh factory. Tempeh is a traditional Javanese food made from fermented soybeans, but it can also be made with any bean, seed, nut, grain, or legume. It’s a popular alternative to meat due to its firm texture and nutritional profile. According to USDA statistics, tempeh offers 19g of protein per 100g. In contrast, tofu has 8g of protein for the same serving. Club Cultured Co-Founders Harry, James, and Connor only began crafting their first products three years ago – in a garden shed.

“At the time we were dreaming of working with Wagamama, we were experimenting with tempeh in a garden shed. A few years, lots of hard work and belief later, we’re incredibly excited to be able to spread the tempeh message into the mainstream and help more people discover how healthy and delicious this protein can be!” Co-Founder Harry Watmough said.

“Wagamama are incredibly forward thinking in terms of plant-based options. We’re incredibly pleased with the dishes they’ve created, which showcase our tempeh and have some great flavours!” Wagamama already offered a range of plant-based dishes. Diners can order entrees like sticky vegan ribs, yasai steamed gyoza, and vegan chilli
