Crafted by two MDs.

We were dedicated locavores; after viewing Food Inc in 2010, our daughter announced she was a vegetarian from that day forward. 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 made from whole foods, healthy and satisfying. At Nutcase Vegan Meats, we are committed to creating the highest quality organic, kosher, non-GMO foods for you to enjoy!
