The plant-based industry is a booming market with new and competitive ideas popping up daily. Years ago, plant-based meant greens and tasteless pretend meat-like slices with the texture of mushed together green peas. Today, Impossible®, Beyond®, Daiya®, and many more, have perfected their products that can go up against any Grade A Choice food in a blind taste test and no one is the wiser. Local companies are also finding their own ways to create the new taste of the alternative-to-meat option and offering it to their neighborhoods.

Recently, billions in funds have been put into development of plant-based seafood options to catch that segment of the industry up to the beef, poultry, pork, and dairy industries.
