Guides
Plain explanations of what we stock, how it is used, and what to expect from a case. Every guide links straight to the products it covers.
What these guides cover
Each guide takes one product family and answers the same set of questions about it: what the product actually is, how the case is packed, how many portions it yields, and how to handle it once it lands in a freezer. Buying frozen plant-based food by the case is a different job from picking up a bag at the store, because a case commits you to freezer space, to a thaw-and-serve routine, and to one format for weeks at a time.
- How each item is portioned and roughly how many servings a case holds
- Freezer space a case takes, and how to use part of one while the rest stays frozen
- Which formats hold up on a service line and which suit a household freezer
- Which items belong to the Mon Cuisine line and which are bulk foodservice packs
- What to read on the case label before you commit to an order
Who they are written for
Two readers, the same guides. Some run a kitchen and need to know whether a format survives a service. Others are stocking a home freezer and want to know whether a case is more than a household can get through. Every guide links straight to the product it covers, so you can check the current pack size and description on the product page rather than trusting a number written months ago.
Where should a first order start?
Start with a loose format, because it is the most forgiving thing to own ten pounds of. Ground crumble and meat crumble drop into recipes you already cook, so a first case does not require changing anything else on the line or in the kitchen. From there, formed items portion themselves and are the fastest way to add variety, while composed meals replace a whole dish rather than one ingredient.
- New to cases: ground beef crumble, meat crumble, pizza crumbles
- Center of plate: grilled steak, Salisbury steak, meatballs, schnitzel
- Handheld and fried: nuggets, patties, cutlets, chicken strips, burgers, franks
- Whole dishes: stuffed cabbage, moussaka, stuffed shell pasta, pot pies
- Kosher kitchens: the Mon Cuisine line, which carries the Kosher Parve marking on the case
What is the difference between Mon Cuisine and the bulk packs?
Twelve of the frozen cases carry the Mon Cuisine name and the Kosher Parve marking printed on the case; the other fifteen are bulk foodservice packs that do not declare it. That is the practical dividing line between the two halves of the list: a kosher kitchen stays inside Mon Cuisine and confirms the marking on the case it receives, while a buyer shopping on format alone can work across everything. Both halves ship from the same Brooklyn freezer under the same $300 minimum, and both can be combined in a single order.
How many cases should a first order include?
A first order is easiest to build from two to four cases, because the $300 minimum is simpler to reach with a spread of formats than with one item ordered deep. A workable mix is one loose format, one formed item and one composed dish: the crumble covers everyday cooking, the formed item covers fast plating, and the dish covers the night nobody wants to cook. Mon Cuisine cases and bulk foodservice cases travel in the same delivery, so a kosher kitchen and a mixed household can both build from one order out of Brooklyn.
What these guides will not tell you
They will not give you cooking times or temperatures, and they will not stand in for an ingredient panel. Formulations are revised between production runs, so the label on the case you receive is the source of truth for heating instructions and for what is in the product. Orders ship from 1810 76th Street, Brooklyn NY 11214 with a $300 minimum that applies to wholesale accounts and households alike; call 347-516-9806 or write tarcus@vegangrandnews.com for current availability.
