Her love of lox means she knows the flavor really well. The challenge was to recreate it as best as possible while maintaining the plant look of the carrot. This unique product only uses carrots without any soy protein or glutinous seitan (products used by many of its competitors). The fluctuating qualities of carrots, such as their size and sweetness, mean constant recipe adjustments. She needed to account for all the variables so she tested different types of carrots, smoking methods, and marinating time. After three years, Ms. Podair now has the experience to make the best final product despite variations in the incoming produce.
