Alternative proteins are foods that contain protein from non-animal sources, such as plants, fungi, and animal cells, and they are designed to taste the same or better than conventional animal products. They are a sustainable alternative to conventional meat as they require less natural resources and produce fewer emissions! Learn more about alt proteins in our about section!
