Plant meat belongs to processed food. Although not all processed foods are bad, super-processed foods add many unhealthy ingredients to improve the taste and taste.
If the main raw material of plant meat is beans, it can meet the needs of body protein; However, plant ingredients have no taste of meat. If they want to taste like meat, they will probably add a lot of additives. Different manufacturers may consider the cost and use different additives. For example, the red color of meat may be due to the high dyeing cost of natural ingredients, and the low-cost pigment may also be considered by manufacturers.
From the standpoint of environmental protection, the whole factory may be relatively environmentally friendly, but from the perspective of health, it is not completely consistent. If soybeans are processed at home, it is recommended to use simple seasonings to make them feel fleshy and minimize additives. If it is made by a food processing factory and a lot of additives are used to cater to the market taste, we should think about whether it is healthy.
There is also food processing to meet the taste. Generally speaking, food additives should be put in, and sometimes it is easy to make the sodium content too high. If you eat animal oil such as butter, lard and butter in frying, you will lose the original intention of not wanting animal fat, and you will still get saturated fat, so you must pay special attention.
