The new plant-based protein product is now available via major foodservice distributors
CHICAGO, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MorningStar Farms®, the market share leader in veg-forward plant-based protein, is proud to announce its new Royal Thai Curry Patties are now available nationwide for foodservice and Away From Home channels. This new innovative product delivers a delicious, bold, vegetable-based solution designed to meet demand for globally inspired plant-based menu options.
The new patties feature a vibrant, aromatic Thai curry flavor with a balanced blend of warm spices and savory notes. Each bite is as tasty as the last, and has real vegetables you can see, including green peas, green and red bell peppers, kale and broccoli florets. Every vegan patty is made with nine vegetables in total, contains one-quarter cup of vegetables per serving and is a good source of fiber.
Veg-forward offerings are outpacing analogue patty options year-over-year, according to Circana data.¹ In addition, curry ranked among the top cuisines appearing on 2024 menus, underscoring strong consumer interest in unique flavors from around the world.²
“Operators are looking for plant-based solutions that taste outstanding while delivering operational ease,” said Eliza Coteng, director of innovation marketing, Mars Snacking Away From Home. “MorningStar Farms Royal Thai Curry Patties bring actual vegetables and vibrant Thai curry flavor together in a format that helps our partners meet guests’ cravings and exceed their expectations for how mouthwatering a plant-forward meal can truly be.”
Royal Thai Curry Patties offer versatile, plant-based solutions across dayparts. They work well beyond traditional burgers in a wide variety of applications, including wraps, globally inspired bowls, skillets and more.
The patties are 3.1 ounces each and available in 48 cases for foodservice operators across commercial and non-commercial segments.
