Unami is made from eggplants using a patent-pending process, which changes the texture of the vegetable to resemble the firm texture of freshwater eel
Ocean Hugger Foods, pioneer of plant-based seafood, will be debuting its newest product, Unami - a plant-based alternative to eel - at Booth #9639 at the 2019 National Restaurant Association Show.
Unami is made from eggplants using Ocean Hugger’s patent-pending process, which changes the texture of the vegetable to resemble the firm texture of freshwater eel, or unagi. The eggplant is then marinated in a mixture of gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, and algae oil which infuses it with a rich umami flavor. The result is a ready-to-use product great for sushi and rice bowls, as well as more innovative dishes like Japanese-style pizzas and tacos.
