Iltalehti tested the brand new vegan nuggets and was surprised by several things.
Crisp and tasty, but a little nugget -like feel exhausted.
In these ways, I would evaluate the latest product of McDonald’s, Veggie Nuggets, which I could taste the day before the official launch.
Nuguts are an interesting novelty in the fast food world. Vegan nuggets are the first of their kind among Finnish hamburger chains. They would certainly have been very demanding for years.

The nuggets are baked in different fat pools than the chicken nuggets. The alignment is gratifying because baking in the same pool for at least some of the products of animal origin could be an obstacle to enjoying food.
Burger King has been selling plant -based nuggets for a long time, but the products are not completely vegan due to the cooking phase. Hesburger oil-based vegetable-based products, such as vegetable steaks, are also cooked in the same pools with non-vegan products. Chains competing for the vegan line could be modeled on.
The main ingredients of vegan nuggets are reeded wheat protein, rapeseed oil, water and wheat flour.
The nuggets are manufactured in Madrid, Spain. A long transportation trip through Europe is a bit of an eco -friendly aspect, which may allow some to choose from vegetables instead of a meat option. McDonald’s chicken cutts are made a little closer in Denmark.
Expected novelty
The scent of the nuggets is delicious and serving doses are of the right size.
Even the flavor is not disappointing. It combines fast -food flavoring and deliciousness without being over -fat.
The mouth is pleasant and remotely resembles chicken, but not too meaty. However, the idea of an ultra -processed product cannot be avoided.
Vegan nuggets can be ordered in 4, 6, 9 or 20 pieces in portions, 6 or 9 meals and as part of the Happy Meal children’s meal. Elle Laitila
There are three vegan dips options: Barbeque, Curry and sour nipples. The versatility of dips options help many find a pleasant alternative.
However, when comparing vegan and traditional chicken nuggets, there is a significant difference between the products.
Vegan nuggets are crispy on the top and their taste fits plant -based, processed meat substitutes. Chicken nuggets, on the other hand, tastes greasy, softer and more abundant.
Overall, vegan nuggets are a tasty and certainly expected addition to the fast food chain selection. Although the nuggets were positively surprised, especially the fans of chicken nuggets may have to get used to the product.
The nuggets have been developed Nordic and in cooperation with Findus, a food company. The nuggets themselves are made in Spain. Elle Laitila
