Plant-Based Roasts: A Variety of Options for Your Holiday Meal
Whole Foods Plant Based Roasts
Whether you are a vegetarian, vegan or eat meat, Whole Foods has a variety of plant-based roasts to choose from for your holiday meal. These turkey-like or ham-like dishes are stuffed with tasty fillings and wrapped in puff pastry.
These plant-based roasts are made with soy and wheat gluten, which may be a problem for people with allergies to these ingredients.
Tofurkey
Tofurkey is a plant-based roast that can be found in many health food grocery stores. It is stuffed with herbs, wild rice, and mushrooms. It is low in calories and contains high amounts of protein. It also has monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Tofu, which is a natural source of protein, provides the meaty texture of the tofurky. The roast is also filled with brown rice and mushrooms to add flavor. It is available in a stuffed form as well as in a plain version. It is a great choice for vegetarians at Thanksgiving.
It is important to note that Tofurkey contains wheat gluten and soy, which may cause allergic reactions in some people. It is best to avoid it if you have allergies to soy, wheat, or beans. It is also a poor choice for people who are sensitive to salt because it can be overly salty. One serving of Tofurkey contains about 10 grams of fat, and most of that is saturated fat.
The Herbivorous Butcher
Whether you enjoy your steak well done or with a bit of char, this succulent plant-based Ribeye Steak from The Herbivorous Butcher is sure to please. It provides a hearty dose of protein (over 26g per serving) and is perfect for grilling up a steak with friends or enjoying as a main dish.
The Herbivorous Butcher is a Minneapolis-based vegan meat company founded by siblings Kale and Aubry Walch. The pair launched their first shop in 2016 and have been really popular at events and fairs around the US since then. Their offerings, including deli meats by the pound, brats, ribs, sausages, and prepared dishes, have quickly gained national recognition, attracting hordes of consumers eager to try their products.
Raised in Guam and immersed in the island’s food culture, the duo use their knowledge of beloved foods to create small-batch plant-based meats that powerfully evoke the flavors of their animal counterparts. Now, the pair has put their expertise to good use in this cookbook, which includes 75 innovative recipes for savory plant-based meats and standout vegan dishes.
Field Roast
The Field Roast company is a vegan alternative to meat, and they offer a wide range of products including sausages, burgers, corn dogs, deli slices, pepperoni, and roasts. Their flagship product, Celebration Roast, is a delicious vegan holiday roast that is popular around the holidays. Their other products are made with a blend of grains and vegetables, which makes them healthier than traditional meat alternatives.
The company is based in Seattle, and they use Asian culinary traditions and European charcuterie techniques to create their products. Their products are made from wheat, vital gluten, water, salt, olive oil, and natural flavors. They are also free of saturated fat, and they contain more protein than real pork sausage.
The sausages can be grilled or baked in the oven. You can marinate the sausages with a variety of ingredients to add extra flavor and color. They can be served on a bun, or they can be added to a pasta dish.
Lightlife
Whether you’re looking for a way to make meatless Mondays more exciting, trying out a plant-based diet or simply wanting to reduce your environmental footprint, Lightlife is the brand to turn to. Its products are sourced from high-quality ingredients that help you feel full and fuel your body for a day of activities without leaving you feeling hungry.
The company’s products include tempeh, burgers, sausages and more. They are made using a combination of soy protein, pea protein and other plant-based proteins. They are sold in more than 500 Whole Foods prepared foods departments across the US and Canada.
The company recently partnered with vegetarian late night host Lilly Singh to promote its “Clean Break” campaign. The campaign is designed to encourage consumers to make a clean break from meat. The campaign also criticizes competitors Beyond and Impossible for using too many ingredients. The campaign uses the same spurious arguments used by the meat industry to attack the competitors.
