Crafted by two MDs.
We were dedicated locavores; after viewing Food Inc in 2010, our daughter announced she was a vegetarian. So for the next month we ate vegan in the home. We all felt better, our son, daughter and the two of us, knew this was significant on many levels. As physicians with teenagers, we sought a healthy, fulfilling meat alternative to recreate our favorite dishes. We crafted a tree nut, brown rice, and quinoa-based ground “meat” that is flavorful, healthy, and satisfying. At Nutcase Vegan, we are committed to creating the highest quality organic, kosher, non-GMO foods for you to enjoy!
