This process creates a beef-like muscle tissue when baked or fried, replicating the texture of meat. This alternative is different than the competing Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods formula that utilizes alternatives including potato and soy proteins. This meat alternative is considered cultured meat that is created on a molecular level, making it more similar to real meat. Creating cultured meat is made possible by coaxing cells from chickens or cows into forming into muscle tissues with the process requiring a...
