NEW PRODUCTS – made from peas and faba beans For many centuries, these legumes have been cultivated in the Nordic countries and they fit well within an organic crop rotation. In a few years, all of the raw materials for the Plant Mate products will come from Danish organic farms.

Plant products rich in protein

We strain the flour from the peas and the faba beans and use the part that is rich in protein for all of our products.

The process and the technique we use is the same as the one used when making pasta, Havrefras, and similar products of various flour types. The technique is called extrusion. Organic Plant Protein make these products in a dry process without the use of chemicals.

Suitable as a meat substitute

In its dry form, the Plant Mate products contain 53% protein. When the dry products soak, they will absorb about 2-2½ times liquid in relation to their original weight. The protein content in the soaked and cooked product will be the same as in meat – about 18%.

Plant Mate products can replace meat in almost every well-known and loved dinner course, burger, pate etc.

Toppings

Often times, toppings can be just the thing a nice meal needs!

Spicy, marinated, and roasted Plant Mate products are highly suitable as a pizza topping, in an omelette, on rsoups, in salads, etc.

Protein-rich Ingredients for baking

When the need arises to optimize the level of protein in a menu, the Plant Mate products provide many possibilities!

We work continuously on developing recipes and ideas.

You can find these on our websites www.organicplantprotein.dk and www.plantmate.dk

Climate-friendly and worldwise

Soaked Plant Mate products have the same levels of protein as meat (about 18%) but the impact on the climate is only 1,38kg/CO2 e/kg.

In comparison, the climate impact from meat production is up to 100 times higher depending on the type of meat and the circumstances under which the livestock live.

When you want the meal to contain good proteins and be climate-friendly at the same time – the Plant Mate products are simply unique.

The dry Plant Mate product is both very mild in taste and very light in colour Taste and colour are easily absorbed when the dry products soak in a liquid and when they are added directly to sauce or broth.

A guide to soaking

When the dry Plant Mate products soak, they will absorb 1,8-2,5 times the liquid in relation to their own weight. The soaking time is 10-45 minutes, depending on the type of product and the temperature of the liquid. It is also possible to let it soak overnight.

When using the Plant Mate products in a stew, we recommend soaking them directly in the pot while making the dish. By doing this, the products absorb taste and colour from the spices and the other ingredients – and you save time! Using this method, extra liquid is needed. Add in the amount that will be absorbed by the Plant Mate products.

Long durability and no cooling needed

With Plant Mate products on the shelf, you always have the ingredients for a quick and easy protein-rich meal. The products have a durability of 2 years and you can store them at room temperature. They are delivered in plastic bags of 1-2 kg/bag. The bags are a type of plastic that can enter into recirculation.

A high-quality organic meat substitute

The Plant Mate products have been assessed by chefs and food companies both in Denmark and abroad – and they all think that these are the best plant protein products and meat substitutes they have yet had.

The structure is similar to meat because of its long fibres and can therefore feel like eating chicken, for instance.

No numbers or allergens

The Plant Mate products excel by being made without any use of chemicals or additives. The degree of processing is the same as we know from the production of pasta that is made in various shapes and sizes.

Choosing peas and faba beans ensures that the Plant Mate products are soy free and gluten free.

Plant Mate around Europe Plant Mate products can also be found in stores and webstores around Europe.

Here you will find them in small bags either in Plant Mate trademark or in other trademarks.

MORE PLANT-BASED Our Plant Mate products gives your kitchen the opportunity to cut down on meat and keep the good proteins.

• With Plant Mate Granulate Mini When substituting 10-15% of the flour and seed mix used to make bread with Plant Mate Granulate Mini, it will give you twice the amount of protein. Granulate Mini is made from 90% pea protein and 1% salt, and we developed the product to optimize the protein level in bread.

Guide: Add in double the amount of water for one amount of Granulate Mini.

For instance, 2 dl water for 1 dl Granulate Mini. Let it soak for 15 minutes. Afterwards, it can mix with the other ingredients.

Varieties in different shapes and sizes If you have 2-3 Plant Mate varieties in stock, there will always be ingredients for varied meals with good proteins. Long durability, storage at room temperature, and various applications also contribute to less food waste.

We are always happy to provide guidance and will gladly swing by with inspiration and/or help with application. You are welcome to give us a call or write us an email. On our website, we will continue to show new recipes and ideas.

“FOR US AND FOR THE FUTURE” We all know it – we have a shared responsibility for the good life and for the world around us.

We can all contribute to things heading in the right direction, and when we meet happy children with their futures ahead of them, we need no more arguments for why it is so important.

A mission with a company

“Plant Mate” is our brand and the company that produces the Plant Mate products is “Organic Plant Protein”. Though more than being a company with a mission, it is a mission with a company.

Organic Pioneers

Ulrich Kern-Hansen and Fie Graugaard established this new organic company in 2019. It was also Ulrich and Fie who established Hanegal many years ago.

Initially, they ran an organic farm in 1980 and later a butchery and food production company in the 90s.

Hanegal is mainly known for its purely organic meat products without chemicals but has nonetheless always stated, “Eat less meat” and choose your meat considerately. In 2018, Hanegal made the decision that 85% of its own products will be plant-based in 2030.

Ulrich and Fie have created Hanegal on strong values that take the environment, the general health, and a sustainable future into careful consideration. Organic Plant Protein is based on the exact same values.

The planet’s urgent need for a reduction in meat consumption is the basis for Hanegal’s new objective and for establishing the new company. It was through working to develop more plant-based products that Ulrich and Fie saw a need for organic meat substitutes of high quality from protein-rich Nordic-made raw materials. These did not exist – but now that the Plant Mate products have been developed, they do!

It should be easy

We hope that the Plant Mate products can make it easy to reduce meat consumption. The beloved and well-known dishes can stay on the menu only with a reduction of meat or even entirely devoid from it. Less meat and more plant-based food is also good for the health and, moreover, the meal will often be cheaper.

Ecology is part of the solution

By using organically produced raw materials and switching to more plant-based meals the contribution to the green transition is enormous:

• • • • •

More biodiversity More fertile fields Clean groundwater Less CO2 Food enough for everyone
