Results for tag: "Plant Based Eggs"

Within the Food and Beverage industry, the plant-based eggs market comprises products designed to mimic the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of eggs derived from chickens. These vegan-friendly alternatives are typically made from ingredients like mung bean, soy, peas, or chickpeas, and can be formulated to be used in cooking and baking in much the same way as traditional eggs. Plant-based eggs cater to the dietary needs of vegans, those with egg allergies, or consumers seeking to reduce their animal product intake due to health, ethical, or environmental considerations. Innovation in this niche is driven by the desire to improve the culinary experience and nutritional qualities of plant-based egg substitutes, as well as enhancing their shelf-stability and versatility in various culinary applications. Several companies have emerged as key players in the plant-based egg market. Just Inc. (formerly Hampton Creek) is known for its product, JUST Egg, which uses mung bean protein. Eat JUST also offers a folded plant-based egg for sandwiches and other breakfast items. Follow Your Heart produces VeganEgg, which employs soy milk powder and algal protein. Orgran is another brand that offers a gluten-free, plant-based alternative, relying on chickpea flour and maize starch. Lastly, the startup Zero Egg produces a plant-based egg alternative using a blend of plant proteins for food service and manufacturing. These companies are at the forefront of catering to the growing demand for plant-based egg alternatives in the Food and Beverage sector. Show Less Read more
