The Swiss foodtech start-up Planted is revolutionizing the market with an unprecedented product: planted.chicken breast is the first large vegetable meat cut without additives that is in no way inferior to an animal chicken breast in terms of structure and taste and can be processed in exactly the same way.

Starting from 15 September star cook Tim Raue brings the vegetable chicken breast for the first time in its citizens of Berlin restaurant TIM RAUE on the plates. For the production of the new product Planted uses as usual only natural ingredients: Thus with the production of planted.chicken breast only water, proteins and fibers of the yellow pea, Rapsöl, salt and yeast are used. In this way, the company remains true to its principle of dispensing with additives - as well as the perfect bite that characterizes all protein-rich meat alternatives from Planted .

"I enjoy working with good products and the planted.chicken breast - like the other Planted products - meets this requirement without compromise. It can be processed ideally and additionally makes a decisive contribution to our climate - for a forward-looking cuisine, such products are indispensable," says star chef Tim Raue.
