Franklin Farms®, a division of Keystone Natural Holdings, recently introduced its latest plant-based offering with the launch of Chickpea Tempeh. This new plant-based product offers vegetarians, vegans and all food lovers a soy-free option that is rich in flavor and packed full of nutritious benefits. Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh recently launched at Price Chopper and Market 32 stores in the Northeast.

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Franklin Farms®, a division of Keystone Natural Holdings, recently introduced its latest plant-based offering with the launch of Chickpea Tempeh. This new plant-based product offers vegetarians, vegans and all food lovers a soy-free option that is rich in flavor and packed full of nutritious benefits. Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh recently launched at Price Chopper and Market 32 stores in the Northeast.

The rising interest in health combined with a hunger for variety is driving the consumption of plant-based proteins, according to Mintel's U.S. 2022 Plant-Based Proteins Report. Natural plant-based proteins have also seen an increase in demand and face favorable market conditions as they appeal to health-centric consumers who view other meat alternatives as too processed or those that have long ingredient panels of unfamiliar ingredients. Of the natural plant-based protein foods, legumes such as chickpeas, beans and lentils are reported to be consumers' preferred ingredients, indicating a desire for familiar natural protein sources.

Now, consumers can enjoy chickpeas in a new way with our latest plant-based offering, Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh. With the success of our chickpea tofu and the rising number of people looking to diversify their plant-based diets, these products are a perfect way to meet the needs of consumers.

Whether added to a sandwich, incorporated in a wrap or included in a zesty stir-fry, Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh is simple and easy to prepare. This innovative new product is plant-based, vegan, non-GMO, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, kosher and soy-free. Inspired by traditional soy tempeh, Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh provides 9g of protein and 9g of dietary fiber per serving.

"Now, consumers can enjoy chickpeas in a new way with our latest plant-based offering, Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh," said Kenny Sung, CEO of Keystone Natural Holdings. "With the success of our chickpea tofu and the rising number of people looking to diversify their plant-based diets, these innovative products are a perfect way to meet the needs of today's consumer. Our Chickpea Tempeh provides a delicious and unique plant-based eating experience while offering the various nutritious benefits of the powerhouse chickpea, including its naturally high levels of protein, fiber and iron. We hope consumers will enjoy this additional plant-based meal alternative, that provides an option to those with soy allergies while capturing the versatility, benefits and familiar delicious taste of the chickpea."

Tempeh is a popular Indonesian plant-based protein traditionally made by fermenting cooked soybeans. During the fermentation process, the soybeans bind together to create a firm block-shaped cake. Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh is created through a similar process and replaces soybeans with chickpeas to cater to those with soy-free dietary needs while also seeking the nutritional benefits and flavor of a chickpea option.

"Like our chickpea tofu, Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh is a highly versatile meal solution that can be prepared and enjoyed in a variety of cuisines," said Cindy Wong, Vice President of Sales, Franklin Farms. "Though both tofu and tempeh are versatile products and great sources of plant-based protein, there are some noticeable differences regarding the texture, mouthfeel and flavor. For example, tempeh's texture is firmer and denser whereas tofu is a lot softer and has a smoother texture. Additionally, tempeh is typically heartier compared to tofu which can be virtually flavorless. When consumers are craving a richer flavor with a firm and heartier texture, Franklin Farms Chickpea Tempeh is sure to satisfy their taste buds!"

"Our Chickpea Tempeh is an excellent option for individuals seeking healthier and balanced dietary choices," said Wong. "Formulated with just cultured chickpea and water, this product contains many essential vitamins and minerals. Chickpeas also make a good meat substitute helping to keep consumers feeling full and satisfied and have been found to help with lowering cholesterol in support of heart health and the reduced risk of heart disease."

Wong added, "We believe that great-tasting, nutritious and allergen-free food options should be accessible to all. Our team is proud to introduce a product that is not only made from the highest quality ingredients but also aligns with our commitment to provide the world with flavor-forward and innovative plant-based foods."

With more than twenty years of expertise in plant-based protein foods, Franklin Farms uses only the highest quality ingredients and packaging to provide a healthy selection of plant-based products for any meal of the day. Product offerings include veggie patties, meatless meatballs, tofu, seitan, tempeh, chickpea tofu, vegan wraps, chickpea tempeh and more. Franklin Farms is a proud member of healthy brands under Keystone Natural Holdings, a company devoted to developing authentic, health-conscious and innovative food.
