After one-and-a-half-years of dedicated research and experimentation, the vegetable products have been created with the ‘perfect’ composition of ingredients. From this, an ideal mix has emerged from witch a nutritious ‘dough’ has been created. The basis of most products consists of fresh vegetables, legumes (including fava beans), mushrooms and herbs.
