Research Summary
Meat alternatives, also known as plant-based or vegan meat substitutes, are products designed to imitate the taste, texture, and appearance of meat while being entirely plant-based. These alternatives are made from a variety of ingredients, such as soy, wheat, peas, mushrooms, or other plant sources, and often incorporate spices, seasonings, and natural flavorings to mimic the flavors associated with different types of meat. Meat alternatives offer a cruelty-free and more sustainable option for those who choose to reduce or eliminate their consumption of animal products, whether for health, environmental, or ethical reasons. They can be found in various forms such as burgers, sausages, deli slices, ground meat, and even imitation seafood. Meat alternatives have evolved significantly over recent years, with improved taste, texture, and nutritional profiles, making them an increasingly popular choice for individuals seeking to transition to a plant-based diet or reduce their meat intake.
