Nepra chose Spaghetti and Meatballs as their first SKU to appeal to a wide range of taste preferences and to serve as a familiar introduction to PROPASTA™ meals. The meatballs are a beef analogue made from Nepra's proprietary THP™ (textured hemp protein), and the high-protein pasta noodles use hemp flour as the base. Hemp is superior to other vegetable proteins because it is higher in both protein and contains all 20 essential amino acids, doesn't require pesticides to grow, is easier to digest, and is 100% allergen-free. Because of its neutral taste and color, hemp can more closely mimic the foods it was designed to replace--like ground beef--without the "off" flavor sometimes associated with other plant proteins. This is what makes PROPASTA™ meals different from anything else in the freezer section, giving it the potential to disrupt the frozen health food market.

Key Points: 
  • This could translate into a $74 billion opportunity by 2030 if sales growth and penetration levels mimic those of plant-based milks to reach 5% of the total meat and fish market.
  • Should the pace of these drivers be stronger than expected, plant-based meat retail sales could reach $118 billion in 2030," the report noted."
  • A slower uptake, limited by regulatory issues and supply constraints, could result in a $37 billion market size."
  • VERY GOOD has seen steady growth as meat alternatives increase in popularity and consumers demand high quality plant-based options.
