Plant-based foods are generally known to have a much lower carbon footprint and are less intensive in water resources as compared to meat products.
To tap into growing demand in plant-protein foods among Malaysians, Nestle Malaysia has expanded it Harvest Gourmet product range with the launch of puff pastries.
The puffs are a delectable fusion of plant-protein goodness with gourmet pastry, providing those looking to indulge in a savoury snack without compromising on flavour.
The crispy flaky delights are available in three Asian flavours – Creamy Curry, Korean Gochujang and Oriental BBQ.
The gourmet puff pastries are crispy and flaky, and can be air-fried directly from frozen.
