There’s no doubt that the popularity of vegan food is massively on the rise. In fact Australia is second only to the UK in terms of the number of people with plant-based eating preferences. Of course this has also led to the rise of veggie-forward food experiences, and given a path for food geniuses to embrace innovative and exciting new food sensations. 

Enter cauliflower bites.

Vegan cauliflower bites are the perfect ‘meat’ substitute and exquisite on their own, in wraps or fried to a crisp finish with a sumptuous dipping sauce. But Kitchen Daddy was tasked to do much more. To create a vegan cauliflower bite that would be versatile enough to take pride of place in one of today’s most popular food genres – Mexican.

The Creation of Mexican-Inspired Vegan Cauliflower Bites

Our clients operate an incredibly popular Mexican eatery. They wanted to expand their vegan and vegetarian options with something that was not just new and innovative (and vegan) but also insanely delicious. It needed to be versatile enough to be used across a number of dishes – just as a beautifully spiced chicken would be. But delicious enough to stand on its own.

They wanted a food unicorn. So, they needed Kitchen Daddy’s contract food manufacturing team.

Creating bespoke products with contract food manufacturing

Contract food manufacturing is the perfect vehicle for conceptualising and collaborating on new and innovative food experiences. Our client brought their needs and wants – and their depth of experience in the Mexican food space. And Kitchen Daddy brought their innovative spirit, deep understanding of flavours and textures and their precision processing. Together we created something new for the food industry – vegan cauliflower bites.

The cauliflower bites are made entirely from scratch and developed to meet the client’s specific criteria. Our Kitchen Daddy team worked round the clock to build the Mexi-inspired flavour profile that was perfectly attuned to the customer’s profile. We then sourced premium cauliflower which was precisely graded to the size requirements needed for serving. 

The results are a perfectly firm but soft bite, textured and exquisitely spiced and seasoned. Of course it’s 100% vegan, and is used across the board on the restaurant’s menu – served on its own (because it deserves its own limelight!) and as a mouth-watering filling in tacos and burritos.

The client was thrilled with the results. 

Delivering on our promise

At Kitchen Daddy we don’t just stop with creating the product. As contract food manufacturers we also ensure prompt production and on-time delivery. For the vegan cauliflower bites the team produces one pallet at a time, and sends that for quick, efficient and food worthy delivery via third-party logistics. We ensure that everything is done to the highest quality and standards every step of the way – from Kitchen Daddy’s kitchen to the client’s kitchen.
