As the market for meat replacements expands, future advancements in food technology are expected to result in the creation of increasingly more sophisticated and practical meat substitutes.

Numerous plant-based substances, such as soy, wheat, pea protein, mushrooms, and jackfruit, can be used to create meat replacements. To make sure they offer a meat replacement that is nutritionally balanced, they are frequently fortified with vitamins and minerals. Just a few of the dishes that may be cooked with meat substitutes include stews, meatballs, meatball sandwiches, and hamburgers. With rising worries about the ethical, environmental, and health effects of eating meat, meat alternatives have gained popularity in recent years.
