What is plant-based meat? (part 1 of 5)

Plant-based meat is just what it sounds like, a substitute/alternative for animal meat and is primarily made up of vegetables, grains and legumes.

They can also be called “fake meat” “meat alternatives” or “vegan meat”.  

Plant-based meat is a vegan or vegetarian alternative to animal flesh and meats such as beef, chicken, and mutton. They are intended to mimic animal meat. While products that were developed earlier for instance Tofu were meant to replace meat.
