25 Mar 2019 --- South America’s largest egg producer has debuted a plant-based egg in response to the continued demand for plant-based foods. Thinktank company the Good Food Institute (GFI) Brazil, has been working with Grupo Mantiqueira, a Brazil-based egg producer, which has launched N.Ovo, made from pea starch and plant protein. The launch comes at a time when egg replacements are seeing significant market growth, as consumers are increasingly looking for tasty, healthy, more sustainable sources of protein and retailers and restaurants are searching for ways to elevate either stagnant or declining egg sales.
