Abi, the largest producer of ready-to-eat foods, introduced Foodgital, a new generation of plant-based goods, in the Middle East.
Abi introduced to the Middle East the Foodgital range of plant products from the "Goryachata shtuchka" brand. Product demonstrations were held in Riyadh as part of the Saudi Agriculture 2022 international agricultural show.
At the expo, for the first time, the renowned brand "Goryachaya shtuchka" introduced its best-selling plant-based goods, including chebupels and chebureks, as well as its most popular meat products, nuggets and cutlets. The Foodgital range amuses with a flavor that is as near to meat analogues as possible, while also providing consumers with all the benefits of plant-based goods. Foodgital's "Chebupels," "Nuggets," and "Chebureks" are completely prepared and just need heating in the microwave or oven. Each product may be used as a distinct course that pairs well with any garnish.
For the production of Foodgital innovations, only natural plant proteins derived from chickpea, garden pea, and wheat are utilized; as a result, the products are a source of strength and sustained energy.
Foodgital are plant-based goods of the next generation that have been created in their whole by Abi specialists, from ingredient selection to manufacturing technique. Foodgital's plant-based protein products are priced comparably to their meat-based counterparts due to the company's proprietary technology, which enabled the development of a market-unique offering. It should be mentioned that the majority of Foodgital's raw ingredients are sourced from Russia.
Abi specialists are now negotiating the delivery of the Foodgital new-generation plant product line with a number of significant Middle Eastern firms with whom business relations were created during the "Saudi Agriculture 2022" expo. With the top trade networks and major distributors from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, export is addressed.
