As many people turn to a plant-based diet for health and environmental sustainability reasons, socially conscious businesses are taking the opportunity to offer more appealing vegan meats and other food products. Based in the United Kingdom, Sgaia takes an artisanal approach with their Mheat, award-winning eggs, charcuterie and Cheeze.
Available for home delivery and at retailers including Whole Foods, Sgaia sells "culturally accurate, authentic tasting plant-based meats and cheeses." With a goal of reinventing plant-based living and dining, the company also provides value bulk boxes, video recipes and events. Their vegan meats are made out of wheat and soya protein and consist of carefully seasoned and specially cooked doughs. They've reproduced a number of conventionally meaty foods including pastrami, pepperoni and rare roast beef.
