What is the REAL difference between the traditional Veggie Burgers that have been around forever, and these relatively new Plant-Based Protien versions?

In: Biology

Answer 1

There hasn’t been a high demand for veggie burgers until recently, so not a lot of companies would invest in finding good veggie substitutes.

As veganism and vegetarians are on the rise, it means a new gap in the market for good quality meat substitutes. The money going into substitutes has been put towards 1.) making the substitutes more meat-like, hence improving quality. 2.) marketing, which means your “just veggie burgers” are now “nutrient dense cruelty free high protein healthy burgers”.
