Plant meat is called the future food by many people. It is 100% plant, but it has the appearance, smell and taste of real meat. But a big fly in the ointment is that the current price is relatively expensive, about 40 dollars per kilogram, which is much more expensive than natural meat.
Advantages of vegetable meat
The raw materials of vegetable meat are only ordinary soybeans, peas and wheat. However, with the development of food industry technology in recent years, plant protein has been able to simulate fibrous animal protein through complex purification, extrusion, expansion and molding.
