Ground and vegan sausages, imitation salmon slices, or “fake sorcerers”: vegetable substitutes designed to mimic the look, texture, and taste of animal products are on the rise. These new foods are appealing to a growing number of consumers in Europe – vegetarians and vegans, as well as “flexibilists” trying to reduce their meat consumption without breaking their eating habits.
To protect fish stocks, do not fish more than the ocean produces. Based on this observation, Robin Simsa decided to start Revo Foods, a startup whose aim is to create vegan fish substitutes. ” The main ingredients used are pea proteins, seaweed extracts and vegetable oils. “, explains this young Austrian living in Vienna. The resulting fish paste is injected… into a 3D printer!” A pavé or smoked salmon slice design is then computer generated and the machine reproduces the pattern. “, he continues. The product range is currently available in supermarkets in ten European countries. ” We are criticized for making artificial food. But nowadays, dyes are added to real salmon to make it orange, or Omega-3s are added to give it a certain nutritional value. So there is nothing natural about it! he declares.
