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.
