Nowadays boasts of its minimal ingredient list, which consists of only water, organic yellow pea protein, whole wheat flour, sunflower oil, yeast extract, maple fiber, and mushroom extract. Although I could tell that the product was not actually chicken, I found it to be a great alternative to real chicken nuggets. The inside of the nugget was moist and fatty, and there was the familiar chewiness that you would find in your standard chicken nuggets. They did not taste like a fried fast-food chicken nugget, but more of a healthy, baked chicken nugget (which is a good thing). Right away, I loved the crispy breading on the nuggets. I served them with a side of vegan ranch and took my first bite. I pulled the nuggets out of the air fryer and they were golden brown and crackling. For those who don’t have an air fryer, the product can also be cooked in an oven, on a skillet however, a microwave is not recommended. The company recommended that I throw the nuggets in an air fryer for seven to nine minutes at 370 degrees. Upon opening the box and inspecting the product, the nuggets passed the first test they definitely looked like real chicken nuggets. Due to the buzz around alternative chicken products, I was excited when Nowadays sent me samples of its nuggets to taste test. Nowadays raised $2 million in a pre-seed round several months ago, which is being used for the rollout of its first product. A new company called Nowadays recently joined the alternative chicken space with its first product: plant-based chicken nuggets. Big players like Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, and others have now turned their attention to bringing alternative chicken products to market.
