A brief history of plant-based meats
Vegetarian and vegan diets have been around for centuries. Many cultures choose to leave animals off their plate for ethical, religious, or even health-related reasons. So, it was only a matter of time before meat alternatives were developed for these lifestyles.
In the 90s and early 2000s, companies like Kellogg’s and Quorn began producing meat substitutes made from soy and wheat proteins. These products were often criticized for their texture and taste, but in recent years, a new generation of meat alternatives has emerged.
