The Veggletto® Technology is a break-through system for egg-alternative cooking that is good for you AND “tastes just like the real thing”! Why Veggletto®?

The Veggletto® Technology by TVC provides consumers, food service and industry with natural, economical, great tasting egg-like preparations having the culinary and nutritional properties expected of natural eggs. Examples are a convenient omelette dry mix, chilled liquid and retort or frozen ready-meals. Veggletto® is egg-free and vegetarian while Veganetto™ is the vegan equivalent which is in development. Veggletto products are cholesterol-free; gluten-free and lower in fat than natural eggs (the contained fat is healthier). Veggletto® has excellent complete protein value and essential amino acid profile.
