Holmesterne’s Development Chef, Kevin Hacking explains: “Shredded meats continue to grow in popularity. They offer a greater surface area and volume per portion and this allows the flavors to develop on the palate and for sauces and flavorings to adhere to the meat for huge flavor impact.”
“Shredded meat can also add value to your GP (gross profit) as your quality meat can stretch further, for example, a standard dice, may well shrink and look poor value for money, with the shredded the meat shreds naturally along the grain, you get a tender product that visibly looks more and can be used in a range of products from sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads.”
