More About This Product
What Makes BeLeaf's Chicken Different
Plant-based chicken alternatives on the market generally lean on one of a few protein bases — soy protein, pea protein, wheat gluten (seitan), or mycoprotein. BeLeaf's plant-based chicken uses a soy and wheat protein base (Non-GMO Textured Soybean Protein, Non-GMO Soybean Protein Powder, Non-GMO Wheat Protein Concentrate), seasoned with white pepper, brown sugar, and a mushroom-based vegan seasoning for a savory, umami-forward flavor. This combination is what gives the product its tender, fibrous bite and lets it hold up in a fryer without falling apart — a texture profile foodservice kitchens already know how to work with.
Per ½ piece (100g) serving: 175 calories, 19g protein, 6g fat, 633mg sodium. Contains soy and wheat/gluten. Free from dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, and peanuts. No cholesterol, no added MSG, no trans fat, no artificial flavors, no preservatives, made with Non-GMO soy and wheat protein.
Foodservice Specs & Ordering
BeLeaf plant-based chicken (item V010) ships in a 12 × 2.1 lb case. BeLeaf is integrated into the Dot Foods redistribution network under item #781937, so restaurants working with Sysco, US Foods, PFG, or a regional broadline distributor can add it to a standard weekly order by referencing that Dot item number.
BeLeaf chicken can be ordered two ways, depending on volume:
- Truck delivery via broadline distributors — through the Dot Foods network, which supplies Sysco, US Foods, PFG, and regional distributors. Best for operators ordering in volume.
- US Foods Direct (online, FedEx-shipped) — available for independent restaurants or first-time buyers who want to order without committing to a full truck route.
Product is kept frozen and is thawed in the refrigerator overnight before cooking. Contact BeLeaf directly for current distributor codes beyond Dot Foods and US Foods Direct.
Cooking & Menu Applications
BeLeaf chicken is thawed overnight in the refrigerator, then patted dry and fried in oil heated to 375°F for about 2 minutes, or until it reaches the desired crispness — a straightforward process that drops into an existing fry station:
- Sandwiches & wraps — crispy chicken sandwiches, wraps, and tortas
- Entrées — orange chicken, general tso's-style, chicken tenders and strips
- Salads & bowls — sliced over Caesar or grain bowls
- Catering & campus dining — a consistent, allergen-labeled protein for large-batch service
With its tender, juicy texture and savory seasoning, BeLeaf chicken gives operators a plant-based option that fits into the same fryer workflow already used for conventional chicken, making it easy to add a vegan or vegetarian item to the menu without a separate prep line.
What is plant-based chicken made from?
BeLeaf's plant-based chicken is made from a soy and wheat protein base — Non-GMO Textured Soybean Protein, Non-GMO Soybean Protein Powder, and Non-GMO Wheat Protein Concentrate — seasoned with white pepper, brown sugar, sea salt, sunflower seed oil, and a mushroom-based vegan seasoning.
Where can restaurants buy plant-based chicken wholesale?
Through the Dot Foods broadline distributor network (item #781937), which supplies Sysco, US Foods, PFG, and regional distributors, or through US Foods Direct — an online platform for smaller or first-time orders without a volume minimum.
Is plant-based chicken gluten-free or soy-free?
BeLeaf Plant-Based Chicken is not gluten-free or soy-free — it's made with a soy and wheat protein base. It is free from dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, and peanuts.
What's the best plant-based chicken for a foodservice menu?
For kitchens that need a protein that fries up consistently across large batches, a format like BeLeaf's — fried from thawed in about 2 minutes at 375°F — fits into an existing fry station without requiring new equipment or a specialized prep process.
How do you cook plant-based chicken?
Thaw BeLeaf chicken in the refrigerator overnight, pat it dry, and fry in oil heated to 375°F for about 2 minutes or until it reaches the desired crispness.
