Duitse Braadworst (voorgegaard) - laag in zout

WE NEED LESS®

We all know that we need to reduce our eating and consumption habits for our health but also for the environment, because we now use three times as many raw materials as our planet can offer us. It is no longer a matter of wanting to, but we really need to reduce. However, meat is tasty and is deeply ingrained in our system and food culture and also contains a lot of proteins. How can we solve this smartly?

Sparc Kitchen has developed a German bratwurst for this, in which the pork is mixed with LESS ®, a very protein-rich vegetable component. The sausage with LESS ® contains 50% less meat and is largely vegetable, but just as tasty and juicy, but even more nutritious! In this way, as a company and/or institution, you simultaneously reduce your CO2 emissions!

With this bratwurst, the 'new half and half', with LESS ® and 48% pork, people halve their meat consumption without compromise. To make this sausage suitable for a responsible menu, it has been specially developed with a low salt and fat content in combination with a high protein and fiber content. Compared to a standard bratwurst, the 'new half and half' therefore has the taste of meat, but 40%* less fat and 27%* more protein, which fits into a healthy diet, helps with malnutrition and patient recovery and the creation of muscle tissue.

LESS ® is also a good source of minerals such as iron and selenium. It contains about as much iron as beef. LESS® fits into a low-carb diet and, unlike meat, contains fiber. LESS ® contains all essential amino acids, as the proteins are mainly made up of branched amino acids: BCAAs: a very good source of energy, especially when your carbohydrate supply is depleted. BCAAs also help your muscles recover faster after exercise.
