Plant-based meat substitutes are innovative food products designed to mimic the taste, texture, and appearance of animal-based meat while being entirely plant-derived. Common ingredients include soy protein, pea protein, wheat gluten, lentils, legumes, and a variety of spices and flavoring agents. Some varieties incorporate oils such as coconut or sunflower to achieve desired juiciness and fat content. Originating from vegetarian and vegan cuisines, these substitutes are now gaining popularity globally as alternatives in dishes like burgers, tacos, and stir-fries. Nutritionally, plant-based meats can be rich in protein and fiber while being lower in saturated fats than traditional meat. They may also contain added vitamins and minerals like B12 and iron for enhanced health benefits. However, some products might be high in sodium or contain processed ingredients. Carefully reading labels is key to choosing options that align with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
