JTM Food Group is expanding its line of clean-label products with the addition of new Sous Vide Diced Beef, Pork or Turkey. The single ingredient products are allergen free, gluten free, naturally lower in fat, and have no added sodium or additives. The fully cooked, diced proteins are prepared using the sous vide method of cooking, which results in more consistent products that are tender and flavorful, and offer menu versatility.
In the sous vide method of cooking, the diced, raw meats are vacuum sealed in airtight bags then placed in a circulating water bath at a regulated temperature set much lower than traditional cooking methods. The process distributes the heat evenly so the meats are properly cooked on the inside without overcooking the outside. Many restaurants and large-scale food service operations are beginning to leverage sous vide cooked products because they do not have to sacrifice quality, taste or tenderness to enjoy the benefits that come from using fully cooked meats (food safety, consistency and ease of handling).
