This term specifically means plant-based meat that has been produced or manufactured using vegan sources like soy, mushroom, peas, mung beans, wheat gluten, rice, and coconut oil. The base of meatless meat is made with all such ingredients. To give these ‘vegan meats’ a real meaty flavour, more non-animal ingredients like oils, cellulose & starch are added while processing to give them a juicy texture and a great thickness.
