Daiya, a pioneer of dairy-, gluten- and soy-free foods, has reformulated versions of its Daiya Blocks, featuring new packaging and an improved recipe made from oats and chickpeas, says the company.
Available in the U.S. and Canada at grocery chains like Sprouts, Wegmans, Wakefern, and Natural Grocers, as well as at specialty retailers, the blocks are made with oats and chickpeas and are free from dairy, gluten, and soy. Daiya's new recipe offers a creamier, more balanced taste with a semi-firm bite and smooth finish, according to the company. Available in medium cheddar, jalapeño havarti, Monterey Jack, and smoked gouda, these plant-based blocks are designed to shred, slice, grate, or cube.
"As an increasing number of people continue to explore plant-based foods, we're more committed than ever to developing crave-worthy, plant-based versions of their favorite foods that deliver on the delicious taste, texture, and flavor they expect," said Daiya's vice president of marketing Dan Hua, in a statement.
