  • Americans consume over 105 billion pounds of animal protein annually 
  • This unique way of processing using potato saves 240 gallons of water per pound of meat

What Makes It Healthier?    

Botaniline uses an all natural potato ingredient to create healthier, more sustainable and cleaner label processed meats. 

  • Replacing just 10% of the meat with potato allows you to reduce the amount of sodium used by 50%. The potato acts as a peptide to hold, absorb, and maintain flavor without any added salt.
  • Added sugars and other chemical additives are removed and replaced with potato. Plus, the amount of fiber and potassium naturally found in potatoes creates not only a cleaner label, but a more nutritious one.
  • The potato works as a binder to hold the product together and give it the proper bite/texture that we have come to expect from sausages, hot dogs, and other processed meat items
