Alt Protein

Alt protein, or alternative protein, refers to non-traditional sources of edible protein that serve as substitutes for conventional animal products like meat, dairy, and eggs. These include plant-based proteins, cultured (lab-grown) meats, and proteins derived from insects or fungi. The goal is to provide sustainable, ethical, and environmentally friendly options for meeting our protein needs, reducing reliance on resource-intensive livestock farming. Alt proteins aim to deliver similar taste, texture, and nutritional value as traditional animal products, making them a practical choice for consumers seeking more sustainable diets without sacrificing quality.
