Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Vegan seafood: The next plant-based meat trend?
These days, more and more people are avoiding meat for a variety of reasons, such as health, faith, animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and food safety. Some of them substitute animal meat with seafood or meat alternatives, and others become vegetarians or vegans. Indeed, alternative meat business and investment have been showing healthy growth in the food industry. So, it may not be surprising to find plant-based seafood on the menu or on the shelves soon with similar taste, texture, flavor, and health benefits of seafood from water. Though there still are technical challenges to replicate delicate and fragile seafood, there seems to be a high demand for plant-based seafood, and where there are market demand and investors’ interest, suppliers will eventually overcome technological and financial challenges.
How soon will we see vegan-sushi, plant-based fish and chips, or soy-calamari on the menu?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the challenges to produce affordable and sellable vegan seafood.
