Tyson Foods, the maker of hot dogs, steak strips, and chicken nuggets, has unveiled its first alternative proteins, a plant-based nugget and a “blended” patty that’s a combination of Angus beef and pea protein. The product line, Raised & Rooted, isn’t available in stores yet, according to the company’s website.
Vegan ingredients including jackfruit, black beans, mushroom mince and cauliflower are becoming popular substitutes for barbecue meats such as steak and sausage. More brands are showing interest in the growing category. Impossible Foods — the makers behind the Impossible Burger — said earlier this year it plans to beef up its meatless portfolio by adding a vegan steak next.
Why people are pursuing plant-based eating In the largest study of vegetarian diets, scientists concluded people who follow vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian or semi-vegetarian diets actually had a 12% lower mortality risk than people who are omnivores. Those who had the lowest risk: Pescatarians . But some people say it’s worth paying more for veggie burgers and other alternative meat products. Plant-based diets and products are appealing to increasingly health-conscious foodies. New York City student Myra Sabet, 22, became a vegetarian over two years ago because she was worried about her family’s history of heart disease.
