“Our mission at Planet Based Foods is to educate the world about the incredible potential hemp has as a food source. It’s an untapped natural resource that delivers unmatched nutrition,” said Braelyn Davis, CEO and co-founder of Planet Based Foods. “Many meat alternatives on the market are high in sodium, saturated fats and are highly processed negating their nutritional value.
