Mycelium-based meat alternatives are emerging as a sustainable and nutrient-rich option, offering a texture and flavor remarkably similar to traditional meat, and Tempty Foods’ new Spicy Korean Stick is accessible at select 7-Eleven Denmark stores.

The Spicy Korean Stick was developed through 7-Eleven’s Innovation Corner competition, and several iterations were created to refine its taste and texture to perfection. This sweet and spicy snack from the Danish producer of mycelium-based meat alternatives is made with mycelium, as well as carrots, lentils, quinoa, and oats, all of which are rolled in cornflakes and glazed with gochujang sauce.

This Asian-inspired twist on the classic chicken skewer is rich in umami flavor from mushroom roots, plus a touch of sweetness and a mild dose of heat.
