This latest addition to Redefine Meat’s lineup is based on what the company calls “new meat,” utilizing Israeli innovation and a local passion for the dish to create a tasty shawarma, pre-shredded and ready to heat. The texture and flavor closely mimic traditional shawarma, striking the right balance between juiciness and crispiness, perfect for filling a pita, topping a salad, or enjoying solo with a fork.
