What exactly are those meat substitutes made of?!
Answers: just curious.
If you mean mock meat, they are almost exclusively wheat gluten.
*Sorry I thumbed down everyone who said soy, I thought she meant mock meat!
soy mostly.
you can make just about anything out of soy.
most are made of soy. Some are made up of a type of fungus that has the texture of chicken, something along the lines of mushrooms.
Soy beans, and things that arent meat
TVP (texturized vegetable protein)
Soy, tofu ( wich is a soy).
I actually dont eat meat substiues because alot of them contain tofu wich highers hormone levels and makes them go out of whack
Soy and bean curd, glutton, wheat
soy :D
Depends what you mean by meat substitutes.. Things that Veggies use as protein(tofu, tempeh, ect.)- well.. that is made mostly from soy.
But if you meant substitues that are ment to look and taste like burgers- hot dogs- ect. Then..
