    (What's Inside)

    How do we get our nuggets so tender, juicy, and delicious?

    Wild Nuggies™ are made with soy protein to deliver that meaty bite. Soy protein is packed with plant-based protein and is a good source of essential minerals like potassium. Sunflower oil gives Wild Nuggies™ their juiciness. Methylcellulose (a binder in ice cream, sauces, and jams) and food starch (a carbohydrate in foods like canned soup) hold it all together. A blend of herbs and seasoning give these nuggets a delicious, savory flavor. Wheat flour creates golden-brown breadcrumbs that give Wild Nuggies™ a crispy coating.
