Colorado company Meaty is making a new definition for what's meaty with their new whole cut vegan steak made entirely from mushrooms. This new plant-based whole cut is made up of fermented mycelium, which is the rapid producing root structures of mushrooms, and is mixed with other plant-based spices. Mimicking taste and texture, Meaty is striving to supply a whole cut vegan meat to those looking to explore wider options for a plant-based diet.
Illinois state governor J.B. Pritzker recently signed into law that all state public schools must have plant-based school meals available to all students. This bill not only includes students that follow a vegan diet, but also those with other food restrictions, such as allergies or religious practices. All school meals will have to meet US federal nutritional guidelines. Illinois is now a leader in the US when it comes to inclusivity of dietary needs in public school lunches.
Beans are the new hope for those who are having a hard time getting cheese and other dairy products out of their diets. As Mr.& Mrs. Watson unveiled our new fermented Gouda cheese wheel made entirely from fava beans. With this new progress in vegan cheese, Mr. & Mrs. Watson is driven to make nutritious plant-based products that are accessible to the public and set standards for cheese substitute productions. After three years in development, this new bean based cheese wheel is set to hit Dutch markets by the end of this year.
