Plant-Based Meats

Plant-based meats, also known as meat alternatives or substitutes, are food products crafted from vegetarian or vegan ingredients to replicate the taste, texture, and appearance of traditional meat. They are commonly derived from various sources like soy, wheat gluten (seitan), pea protein, and mycoprotein (found in Quorn). These alternatives aim to mimic the mouthfeel, flavor, and chemical characteristics of specific types of meat while providing a plant-based, animal-free option for individuals seeking an alternative to animal-based protein sources.

Plant-based meats, in the form of meat substitutes or plant-based proteins, do not have a specific dosage in milligrams (mg) like traditional dietary supplements. The amount you consume depends on your dietary preferences and the specific product you choose. These products are typically used as ingredients in recipes, such as burgers, sausages, or meatless dishes, rather than being consumed in measured doses like supplements. The serving size varies from one product to another and can be adjusted according to your taste and dietary needs. It's essential to read the product labels for recommended serving sizes, but these plant-based meats are typically included in meals rather than taken in milligram measurements.
