About this deal

Manufacturers are recognizing this, and there's a move towards simplifying products to make them more appealing to those wanting something less processed, without losing the taste and meaty texture. Ultimately, it's worth approaching plant-based burgers the same way you would the real thing - to be eaten in moderation. Based on some typical examples of beef mince and lean beef mince we can get an overall idea of the nutritional content of meat-based mince below. Nutritional Values of Mince (Beef) Typical Values (Per 100g) While this report quotes a global average, and the UK fares much better in terms of the environmental impact of the meat it produces, most experts agree that consuming less meat and more plants is beneficial for the environment at various levels. Tesco Meat Free Vegetarian Mince– A very good value option that soaks up flavours readily, this 97% soya-based mince has a nice level of seasoning that adds to the flavour. Obviously, it’s only available at Tesco.

Lean beef mince contains similar amounts of fat as some vegan mince options, but still contain more than many vegan mince products Soya has, from time to time, hit the headlines with scare stories that have linked its consumption to an increased risk of breast cancer or hormonal issues in men. Cancer Research UK states that there is no good evidence that eating soya products increases or decreases cancer risk. And while soya products such as tofu contain isoflavones, which are like a mild version of the human hormone oestrogen, there's no valid evidence that they have any unwanted effects on men.

Have a Very Vegan Christmas

Potato Protein/Starch– Powdered potato protein is a relatively common addition to vegan mince products, but we have not seen it as the main ingredient. Potato starch itself is also found in some vegan mince products The Unbelievable Alt. Beefless Mince– A nice colour and texture, this vegan mince laps up the flavours of whatever it is cooked with and retains enough structure to ensure it doesn’t go mushy or too soft. Almost undiscernible from real meat mince in most recipes. Available from Tesco and other large supermarkets.

Does Vegan Mince Taste Like Real Mince?

Coarsely blend the olives, capers and the olive oil in a food processor. Add to the mushroom mix and remove from the heat. Season to taste. Chill until ready to use.

As with many vegan-friendly meat alternatives, with vegan mince there tends to be some kind of base protein that makes up a large chunk of the product. Naturally, this makes all of these vegan minces excellent sources of vegan protein. In most cases, this protein-rich ingredient tends to be soya, often which has been rehydrated or textured in an attempt to replicate the mouthfeel and consistency of real meat mince. Other ingredients have been used too, though some are more successful than others.

Not only that, many of them are very good replicas of meat in terms of texture and – in some cases – flavour. However, there are formidable barriers too. One of these is the technology’s potential to produce meat in the quantity needed at a price people will pay. Another big unknown is how much energy it would use. A recent study estimated that energy use would be less than that needed to produce beef, but potentially more energy-hungry than conventional poultry production.

The fact that this vegan mince contains more than 10g of fat per 100g will concern some people as this is significantly higher than some other options. But others will forget about that on the basis that this plant-based mince from the Meatless Farm Co is about as close as we’ve got to the real thing. It started with burgers, but has swiftly expanded to sausages, meat pieces and even fish such as salmon and tuna.

We’ve covered a lot of the relevant information in our article on the environmental reasons for veganism. But – based on the BBC’s Climate Change Food Calculator – consuming 75g of beef once or twice a week would contribute 604kg to your annual greenhouse gas emissions; if you consumed tofu (soy) instead, it would contribute just 12kg to your annual greenhouse gas emissions. There are plenty of potential benefits of this technology over traditional animal raising. Less land and water are needed, and greenhouse gas emissions should be lower. Animal welfare issues and antibiotic use would be virtually nil.
