work with vegetarian and vegan foods, says Pia Schönemyr. The main reason is the environment, but we ourselves also eat a lot of
vegetarian and vegan foods. We liked to make ingredients that are equivalent to chicken and meat.
After a years of product developement Vegme does now see the daylight. Its an exciting choice in the rapidly emerging vegetarian
food culture. The Vegme range contains a number of environmentally friendly, exciting and all easy to prepare products that is
