Plant-based meats are manufactured using various ingredients, such as soy, green peas, jack fruit, wheat gluten, legumes, beans, coconut oil, beet juice, vegetable proteins, nuts, and seeds, to feel, taste, and appear like real meat. They are considered healthier as plant-based meats are lower in saturated fats and calories compared to regular meats. They are a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber that assist in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome balance. In addition, they offer several advantages, such as weight management, preventing heart diseases, and reducing the risk of cancers. At present, there is a rise in the demand for plant-based meats in India due to their associated health benefits.
