Plant-based meats are having a bit of a moment, but now consumers can make their home kitchen even more vegan-friendly with the debut of the new egg replacement 'neat egg.'
neat egg is a non-GMO, plant-based egg that's meant to serve as an alternative to chicken eggs in recipes that use egg as a binder. To prepare the vegan-friendly egg substitute, all you need to do is combine the neat egg formula with water and it's ready to be used in cakes, brownies, and other baked goods. And unlike similar eggs sustitues such as JUST egg, neat egg contains just two ingredients: chickpeas and chia seeds.
With a growing number of consumers exploring plant-based cooking and baking, products like neat egg provide an easy way to enjoy a more plant-based diet.
