In today's fast-paced societies, there is growing demand for convenience foods that meet the needs of
very busy individuals and families. Yet, many consumers know that convenience comes at a cost.
Obesity, often resulting from a "fast food diet," is now recognized as one of the major causes of heart disease. Major fast-food restaurants have sought to broaden their menus by adding salads and broiled and grilled items to their standard fried fare, and r
educing the amount of saturated fats by switching from palm and cocoanut oils to more heart-healthy canola oil. A number of heart-healthy options can be found on the menus of f amily-style restaurants as well.
With the increased awareness of the connection between food, a healthy lifestyle, and the focus on obesity, especially among children and especially in developed countries, a number of trends are apparent in the food industry. (The government and nutritionists are constantly on the lookout for healthy low-fat food for school-age children and are investing in nutritious food as a preventative against serious illness and medical treatments.)
Consumers are health conscious. It's true that "you are what you eat."
Experts point to good nutrition as one important factor that contributes to a longer life. Individuals
today realize that a healthy diet and exercise improve their well being, prevent illness, and add to
the overall quality of life. Eating healthy foods improves vitality during
the "third chapter" of life.
The demand for meat-free products is on the rise. Meat-free meals are now a staple on many
dinner tables as consumers eat a lighter, more varied diet. Vegetarianism (or semi-vegetarianism) is on the rise because of the tasty meat-free options available in large supermarkets and grocery chains.
Soy protein is recognized for its health benefits. Recently, results of research have shown that eating products with soy protein prevents osteoporosis and contributes to preventing certain types of cancer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has revised its guidelines for a healthy diet to promote and encourage the addition of soy and soy-based products. Many large food manufacturers include soy products in their product lines.
These products are different from other soy products in six important ways. It’s the difference that sets us apart.
Technology and ingredients: All products are manufactured through a unique combination of heat and pressure, and are produced from 100% concentrated soy protein. These products do not contain egg white, gluten, starch, flavor enhancers, fillers, stabilizers or preservatives. They are certified kosher and halal.
- Texture: All products are produced with a chunkier texture as compared with other processed soy products. They do not require gluten
or other binders or stabilizers. Due to their pure taste, only natural spices and flavorings are used to achieve a wide range of very appetizing products. There is no need to mask the taste with a blend of MSG, artificial flavors or other enhancers.
- Appearance: Our products look very natural, making them extremely appealing and appetizing. Because the shapes are not uniform (unlike others that are exact cut-outs), they vary slightly in size and weight. The color is light — another unique characteristic.
- Taste: Our products are 100% soy protein; our proprietary manufacturing process removes the bean-y taste, flavor and smell of the soy, so we are able to use completely natural seasonings. Products do not contain MSG or taste or fragrance enchancers. Products taste home-cooked without any chemical aftertaste that is often found in processed foods.
- Variety: The primary difference between "chunky" texture and other burger-like processed soy products is that it gives us flexibility to make a wide variety of shapes including strips, nuggets, slices and chunks of various thicknesses and sizes which suit a wide range of meat and chicken dishes, from fancy French, to Chinese or Thai stir-frying to spicy Indian delights. Products adapt well and hold up to all types of sauces (cream, marinara and cocoanut). The possibilities are endless. We know that with some creative culinary imagination, chefs and restaurateurs can offer gourmet meat-free meals in hotels, restaurants and other institutions, banquet halls, airlines and more.
- Health and nutrition: The source of our protein in our products comes completely from soy as opposed to other processed products, which is derived partially from soy and egg white and gluten. These products provide more soy protein per serving and conform more closely to the guidelines defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Our products (except for those products coated with bread crumbs) are suitable for consumption by people with celiac disease and wheat allergies. With our proprietary process, we are also able to manufacture breaded/coated products without gluten. Soy protein possesses excellent health benefits. Due to its essential amino acids, soy protein (99% protein digestibility) is the best protein source for the human consumption right after egg whites and well ahead of wheat protein (25% protein digestibility): In GI (glycemic index) terms, the lower the number, the better. (The GI value of a product indicates the change in blood sugar level after its consumption.) These
products have a GI index between 5 and 30. This means that the blood sugar level rises just slightly (almost zero) and the energy provided to the body is regulated over time. All of our products are 100% vegetarian (for all types of vegetarian and vegan diets), 100% natural, and certified kosher and halal. Finnsoy products are the healthy part of a healthy diet.
