), the concept of making a meatless substitute thattasteslike meat is seeing a rise in popularity.
However, the popular meatless meat brand Beyond Meat isn’t a new concept.

According toThe Kitchn, meat alternatives like tofu or seitan will often have soy or gluten as their base.
Another difference is that while tofu and seitan do not taste like actual meat, Beyond Meatdoes.
The texture and flavors not only mimic real meat, but they even use beet juice for color!

Plus, eating Beyond Meat has health benefits.
Depending on your dietary needs, this could be a great alternative to real meat.
