Vegan chicken wings: Nestlé's new vegan meat
Nestlé has invested in Sundial Foods. An up-and-coming American vegan meat company. On this occasion, they will innovate in the production of chicken meat in laboratory. In such a way that it will be as realistic as possible and will include skin and bones. To get this vegan meat from Nestlé, the brand has invested more than 4 million of dollars. This was reported by Jessica Schwabach, CEO of Sundial Foods.
With that money they will partially finance the production of wings made with vegan meat. Vegan meat from Nestlé and Sundial Foods will be introduced to the market in the next months. With the aim of being the food of the future. It will begin to be sold only in San Francisco. However, it will subsequently expand to all of California in 2022. This food is also intended to be a <strong>success</strong> and is marketed throughout the American territory.
"We want the herbal products replace the butcher. In the sense that it serves the same purposes without consumers feeling that it is they are forcing to eat vegan or vegetarian ”assures Schwabach.
How is animal meat imitated?
“People liked the realistic appearance and the high protein content. But, his favorite aspect was the plant-based skin”Stressed Schwabach. For this reason, the peculiarity of this product stands out so much. That is, the fact that it has bones and skin. Just like the chicken itself, bone is the real bird. The skin has been achieved thanks to the use of lipids and proteins for your composition. These ingredients help them retain the moisture in the food. While the bones will be made of bamboo carvings.
As for the "meat", its main ingredient is the chickpeas. However, eight different ingredients are added. The protein contribution of these substitutes is close to that of the chicken meat original. Nestlé's vegan meat has a total of 27 grams of protein per 100 grams of product.
In addition, Swiss food giant Nestlé has been investing in alternative proteins. As a consequence of the fact that an increasing number of consumers renounce products of animal origin. A path of dedication that more and more food and beverage companies are following.
Nestlé made a vegan goal
Experts have assured that the market for plant-based foods will grow and with a annual rate of 11,9%. This in a period of time of 7 years, between 2020 and 2027. Getting to collect 74.200 million globally, according to Research and Markets. However, they estimate that this value will grow due to the increase in people who are intolerant to animal protein. Nestlé, following these forecasts, has decided to innovate and bet on this sector.

It is a technique that has not yet been developed industrially or commercially. In which the meat is grown in a laboratory, so clean or in vitro. With the aim of allowing consumers to taste meat, fish and shellfish of non-animal origin. That is, manufactured by plants in Industrial facilities. In addition, this company has announced the opening of its first production plant. The first in the world. It will be located in Rehovot, Israel.
We think that the most important thing is educate consumers of the disadvantages and benefits of meat foods. Even so, it seems to us a magnificent idea to make vegan products with characteristics similar to that of meat. Since they appear as solutions or alternatives to recipes rooted in meat of animal origin. For example, hamburgers or hot dogs. And these offer them the possibility of being able to enjoy them by being true to its principles and moral. And you ... what do you think?
