In recent years, there have been significant developments in the field of meat alternatives, and today we find an astonishing variety of purely plant-based sausages, steaks, and schnitzels in health food stores. Vegan cuisine has long since developed a whole range of new products, and tofu is no longer the only ingredient of choice. With tempeh, soy proteins, legumes, and nuts, a wide variety of meat substitutes can be created that come remarkably close to traditional meat dishes. It's not just about imitating meat in texture, flavor, and appearance; the soy products, legumes, and nuts used also provide a wealth of vital nutrients and proteins. Herbs and spices contribute to the aromatic, meat-like flavor.
