David Feder, Executive Editor-Technical for Prepared Foods, interviews Tucker Garrison, co-founder of Imlak’esh Organics, Inc. and its Chi Foods company, makers of plant-based ground pork and pork chorizo analogs from the most unusual South American sacha inchi nut, a star-shaped rainforest nut that boasts more than a quarter of its content as protein and around half of its fat component as omega-3 fatty acids. In the rapidly growing universe of plant-based meats, where alternate proteins are the star ingredients, Chi Foods is truly a unique player.
