Domino’s Pizza Vegan Product Launch
Domino’s Pizza has expanded its menu to include vegan options in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Following a successful trial period at 46 locations, the chain rolled out two vegan pizzas to all 1,200 outlets in the region. The development of these options reportedly took one year.
The new menu items include: * Vegan Vegi Supreme: Topped with mushrooms, corn, onions, red peppers, and tomatoes. * Vegan Margherita: Topped with a vegan cheese developed in-house by Domino’s.
Both pizzas are prepared on a new hand-stretched vegan dough. Customers can also customize these pizzas with a variety of vegetable toppings. Additionally, Domino’s introduced a vegan version of its popular Garlic & Herb dip, formulated with pea protein instead of dairy milk and eggs.
According to a Domino’s spokesperson, the company aimed to recreate the unique texture and taste of their original dough for the vegan range. The spokesperson stated that the company is confident in the quality of their vegan products following positive feedback from the initial trial. In addition to the UK and Ireland, Domino’s offers vegan options in Australia, utilizing Follow Your Heart cheese and vegan beef developed by a local company. In the United States, Domino’s is internally testing plant-based protein toppings, though no specific launch date or product details have been announced for the U.S. market.
Educational Uses of Dominoes
Source material highlights the use of dominoes as a tool for early childhood education, specifically in mathematics. Dominoes are recommended for helping children with counting and addition.
Key educational applications mentioned include: * Counting On: Children can use dominoes to practice "counting on" by stating the first number on a domino and then counting up the additional dots from the other side. * Visualizing Numbers: Domino dots can help children visualize numbers in groups of 5s and 10s, aiding in the concept of composing numbers. * Addition Practice: Free educational resources, such as worksheets found on platforms like Teachers Pay Teachers, utilize domino dot visuals (specifically 1–6) to help young learners practice basic math facts. These resources are designed for Kindergarten and 1st Grade students and support number sense development.
The source material also references a "Domino Addition freebie" which allows students to practice counting, writing number sentences, and finding sums using real dominoes or by drawing their own. These activities are suitable for math centers, morning work, or independent practice.
