Plant-based meat is a protein-rich alternative to traditional animal meat, designed to replicate its flavor, texture, and appearance. Commonly made from ingredients like peas, soy, wheat, beans, lentils, and mushrooms, these products often incorporate oils, spices, and natural flavors to enhance taste and mimic various cuisines. Originating from innovative food science rather than specific cultural traditions, plant-based meats cater to global tastes, complementing dishes like burgers, tacos, stir-fries, and pasta. They are typically lower in saturated fat and cholesterol compared to animal proteins and provide dietary fiber, a nutrient absent in meat. However, some products may be processed and contain higher sodium levels, so moderation and choosing less-processed options are recommended. Perfect for vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians, plant-based meat supports sustainable eating by reducing environmental impact while offering a nutritious and versatile protein source.
