From marbled plant-based ribeye steaks to meatless chicken breasts, whole-cut vegan meats have emerged as a transformative category in the plant-based food industry. Taste and texture play a pivotal role in this evolution, as plant-based brands strive to perfect the juicy, meaty mouthfeel that consumers crave. To achieve this, cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing are being employed, enabling the recreation of the experience of eating a whole cut of meat without the use of any animals whatsoever.
Pioneering brands’ quest for authenticity extends beyond beef and poultry alternatives; a wide array of whole-cut plant-based products have been created, including vegan tuna, salmon, chicken and even ribs with edible "bones." These innovations not only cater to vegetarians and vegans but also appeal to environmentally conscious consumers and those seeking animal-free options. The rapid growth of whole-cut vegan meats underscores the industry's commitment to satisfying diverse palates while promoting sustainability and ethical eating choices.
