plant-based alternatives

Plant-based alternatives are foods made from vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds that are designed to mimic the taste, texture, and appearance of animal products like meat, dairy, and eggs. They offer options for people seeking to reduce or eliminate animal consumption due to health, environmental, or ethical reasons. These alternatives often use ingredients such as soy, peas, or oats and can include items like plant-based burgers, milk made from almonds or oats, and vegan cheeses. They aim to provide similar culinary experiences while being more sustainable and often lower in saturated fats.
