Vegan Mayonnaise

Yes, that’s right. You can now eat quality mayonnaise that’s vegan friendly. No eggs, all plant-based. Beautiful.

Egg Replacer

There are two kinds of products here. The first is egg replacer for baking. This binds your dough or cake mixture in the same way as egg and provides the same kind of flavor to the finished product. The second is an egg replacement made of mung beans that you can fry, put in sandwiches, and generally use instead of regular eggs.

Plant-Based Butter

You can now buy quality butter without the dairy. Made from vegetable oils and plant-based syrups, these plant-based butters are divine on toast, in baking, or in a sandwich.

Meat Substitute

There are many meat substitutes out there now. You can eat vegan mincemeat, burgers, ham, chicken, turkey, and shrimp. While it’s not quite the same as real meat, it has its own charm that in some ways surpasses the real deal.

Chocolate

You can now buy vegan chocolate that tastes heavenly. Made from vegetable oils, sugar, cocoa and coconut, soy or oat milk, good vegan chocolate tastes no different from the original.

Fishless Filets

Are you a big fan of fish and sticks? Well, you can rejoice because in addition to meatless meat, you can also get meatless fish. Gardein’s Golden Fishless Filets are battered, flaky, and delicious with tartar sauce.

Soyrizo

Looking and tasting exactly like chorizo, soyrizo is spicy, crumbly, and can add the perfect kick to any Mexican breakfast dish. So don’t worry, you don’t have to give up on your daily breakfast tacos.

What’s Plant-Based Meat?

Although the ingredients vary based on the brand, the texture and taste of ground beef is replicated through plant proteins made of soy, peas, beans, rice, and wheat. The color of beef is imitated with pomegranate juice, fruit powder, and other fruits and vegetables.

Nutrients

Both plant-based meat and 80% lean ground beef contain around 20 grams of protein per 4-ounce patty. Plant-based meat has fewer calories and fat, and it has no cholesterol. They do have more sodium than real beef—370 to 580 mg compared to 80 mg in unseasoned meat.

Where Can You Find It?

Many restaurants and fast-food chains offer plant-based meat, but if you’re vegetarian or vegan, make sure you ask about how they prepare the plant-based meat to make sure there is no cross-contamination.

At supermarkets, plant-based meat can usually be found next to real beef in the refrigerator meat case. The price is also often comparable to real beef.

How Does it Cook?

Plant-based meat cooks like ground beef, but just look at the specific tips and cooking temperatures on the packaging. Not all plant-based meat will turn dark brown like real meat does.
