Plant-based Meat Alternatives
Plant-based meat alternatives and substitutes have taken the world by storm. Everywhere you look, from quick-service restaurants to at-home meals, plant-based products are almost always featured. Made from meat-free ingredients such as pea, soy, wheat, gluten and more, plant-based meat alternatives are eaten by a large percentage of people for animal welfare and environmental reasons.
While plant-based alternatives are not always a healthier option than their meat counterpart, they can assuredly offer variety in a balanced diet and match in flavor with the right flavor partner. A great place to start on your plant-based journey is with burgers, sauces and stews.

Plant-Based Eating Motivations
Realistic Meat Alternatives Appeal to the Omnivore
Despite the world’s affinity for meat, Gen Z will redefine the American diet. This is reflected through plant-based protein sales steeply rising over the years as many consumers are cutting back on meat for health and environmental reasons. However, the future of the industry relies heavily on innovations in current product development. By mimicking tastes and textures, brands can reinforce Gen Z and Millenials’ normalization of plant-based proteins in their diets. With 44% of Americans describing their dietary preferences as “Omnivore”, a wide audience exists for trial into plant-based proteins and alternatives.
