Meati Foods Uses Just Five Ingredients to Make Its "Steak" and "Chicken"
Laura McQuarrie — November 1, 2019 — Eco
Meati Foods makes a "plant-based, whole-muscle meat alternative" that can be enjoyed as a nutritious, minimally processed and eco-friendly alternative to meat. The brand's range of completely meatless products include the grillable Meati Plant-Based Steak, which is made with just five ingredients and is rich in vitamins, minerals and protein, and Meati Plant-Based Chicken, which promises to be just as versatile as regular chicken, as it can be seared, grilled, baked or shredded. Both of these offerings are free from common allergens and can be used to replace meat in a range of recipes.
While many plant-based brands—and meat brands—are striving to create the best meatless products, Meati Foods sets itself apart by using mycelium, a fermented fungi with a fibrous structure that mimics the texture of animal muscles.
