CHi Foods Organic Plant-based Ground Pork

Chi Rizo


CHi Foods
($11.99):

Looking for a plant-based meat to satisfy midnight cravings?

CHi Foods is the first certified organic line of plant-based meats. CHi Foods’ star ingredient is the CHi Nut (aka the Sacha Inchi Nut) — a protein packed superfood nut rich in plant-based Omega 3s. These nuts are sourced from Southeast Asia where the CHi Foods crew works with local village leaders to create sustainable economic solutions.

Launching with 3 flavors of plant-based ground pork, those looking to eat and feel better can try three varieties: CHi-Rizo, Italian Herb and OG Ground Pork flavors. Packed with 11 g of complete protein, all products are Keto-friendly, Paleo-friendly, zero net carbs, top 9 allergen free, and delicious. Also available at Sprouts nationwide.  

We tried the original flavor to make some picadillo, and you can see how it sizzles in the pan in the pic above, and the resullt when mixed with rice. All-in-all, it tasted pretty good! Plenty of umami, with a texture close to ground turkey but with occasional firmer parts–as if someone threw some chopped garlic into the mix. The flavor has hints of macadamia-type notes, but not overpowering. We’d love too try CHi iin some tacos!
