The Chinese rejected meat and became vegan after the coronavirus.

Of course, the site contains a number of useful substances that are essential for our health. And if we stop consuming it, we have to find the right substitutes. And this is becoming an easier task.

“Fake” meat is its vegan alternatives, which have the same nutritional value and actually manage to give it flavor and appearance. Vitamin B12, iron, and zinc are also added to most vegan “meats” because their deficiency is common in people who do not consume animal products.

These products often mimic all of the meat-damaging foods (like hamburgers or sausages) that we should avoid, even if we don’t give up meat. And its biggest fans are millennials who are interested in healthy eating.

However, consuming them alone does not have a magical effect, since they must be part of a low carbohydrate diet. However, not one or two studies show that replacing meat products with legumes, nuts and other plant-based foods reduces the risk of early mortality and chronic disease, the dir.bg reports, citing the New York Times.

Soy is more commonly used as a meat substitute. Vegetable, non-animal protein (eg, peas or rice) is added, as well as fats such as coconut oil, rapeseed, or vegetable oil. Methylcellulose is a vegetable binder that guarantees the consistency of vegan meat for hamburgers, for example.

Saitana is another interesting alternative to local products, also known as cereals. The product is composed of wheat protein, it contains a large amount of protein.

It is made from wheat flour and water, which are kneaded in dough. It is processed in various ways, often marinated in soy sauce beforehand. Saitana is ready for direct consumption and can be used in various recipes. It is more popular in China.

It is there that there is an even greater boom in interest in vegan meat substitutes. With the reopening of the COVID-19 restaurants and the reopening of fast food restaurants, more and more Chinese depend on healthy plant-based foods, reports the BBC.

Even at KFC, they have been forced to develop a recipe and start offering “fake” chicken nuggets to meet demand. This is believed to be a trend that has not yet spread massively around the world.
