As research and development matures, the company will look at additional ways to utilize hemp and other plant-based meat applications, including introducing new food SKUs in the upcoming months.

VANCOUVER — Planet Based Foods Global Inc., announced that the company will commence distribution in the West and Midwest. Planet Based Foods will now be available to customers in Smith’s and Mariano’s.

The following plant-based alternatives will be available: The Original Taquito with Cheese (a hemp-based crumble with vegan Pepper Jack cheese, wrapped in a gluten-free corn tortilla shell with five grams of plant-based protein), The Southwest Taquitos (four grams of plant-based protein, green chilis and natural seasoning) and The Green Chili Southwest Hemp Burger Patties (with 19 grams of plant-based protein and six grams of fiber in a zesty blend of hemp seed, pea protein and brown rice).

“We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished in such little time as a company,” said Braelyn Davis, CEO and co-founder, Planet Based Foods. “This expansion is a significant catalyst for Planet Based Food as we solidify our brand in local supermarkets across the country. We recognize the importance of brick-and-mortar sales but shouldn’t be quick to dismiss the success of our online sales. We’ll look forward to adding more distribution channels.”

Planet Based Foods remains committed to the potential of hemp across its product lines. Hemp is a versatile crop known for its sustainability. It requires less water than traditional crops and regenerates soil, eliminating the need for pesticides. It is also a rich source of complete protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and essential fatty acids.
