Portland Press Herald: After Blue Mango Veggie Burger Company Folds, Others Step in to Fill the Gap
“Our veggie burgers have seen a large amount of interest in the world of retail,” said Kiera Foti, Brand Manager for Atlantic Sea Farms. “They launched with Sprouts Farmers Market in the natural channel, and this year we’re starting to see a lot of interest from conventional grocers as people are focusing on getting their minerals and nutrients in a more plant-forward diet. Kelp is known to provide all these rich minerals from the sea that you’re not getting from land vegetables as much, like iodine, B12, and manganese. Along with green chickpeas (harvested early and then frozen), pea protein and brown rice, the star ingredient is the kelp, which is farmed along the Maine coast.”
