LOS
ANGELES, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UNLIMEAT, a
leading Korean vegan food company, has announced it will launch its
products at about 400 Sprouts Farmers Market stores nationwide in
the USA. The initial product
lineup includes three offerings: Korean BBQ original, bulgogi, and
pulled pork.
The global fascination with Korean culture has expanded from
K-Pop and TV dramas to the culinary world. Google Trends data
reveals a 35% increase in searches related to Korean recipes and
ingredients from 2021 to 2023. Along with the increase in the
number of people adopting a plant-based diet, demand for vegan
Korean food has also seen a significant rise. In the first quarter
of 2024, searches for "Korean vegan recipes" and "plant-based
Korean food" rose by 20% and 25%, respectively. According to a
survey by the Plant Based Foods Association, 20% of Americans have
incorporated more plant-based foods into their diets over the past
year, with Korean cuisine at the forefront of this trend.
UNLIMEAT offers innovative Korean BBQ and pulled pork products
that cater to vegan and plant-based diets without compromising on
taste or texture. UNLIMEAT's Korean BBQ is a plant-based
alternative to traditional Korean barbecue. Their original sliced
beef is sauceless, allowing consumers to add their own sauce and
create not only Korean or Asian dishes, but also various western
foods like Philly cheese steak sandwiches and gyros. UNLIMEAT
Bulgogi is crafted to deliver the savory and sweet flavors
characteristic of Korean BBQ that are typically only achieved with
meat. UNLIMEATs pulled pork is another standout product, designed
to replicate the texture and flavor of traditional pulled pork made
from pork shoulder or similar cuts. Using innovative plant-based
ingredients, UNLIMEAT achieves a shredded texture that closely
mimics the original meat-based dish. This product is ideal for
sandwiches, tacos, or as a protein-rich addition to any meal,
appealing to both vegans and non-vegans alike.
"We are thrilled to introduce our products to the mainstream US
market through Sprouts, a trusted supermarket chain renowned for
promoting natural wellness and for offering wholesome products
catering to various dietary preferences," said Ryan Chung, CEO of UNLIMEAT. "Korean food is
experiencing a surge in popularity across the United States, and I believe it's the
perfect time to introduce our products, which offer a variety of
plant-based options, across the U.S. Our plant-based product line
has been meticulously crafted to be used in a variety of global
cuisines while meeting the needs of vegan consumers."

fastest-growing specialty retailers of fresh, natural, and organic
