The irony of highlighting plant-based meat as ‘ultra-processed’ — and ignoring the real culprits

Not vegan, but I sub for this quite a lot. The last 10 years have been great for getting it to taste and feel like the real thing.

I am glad to see it getting better flavored and textures.

I usually just get veg and grains instead, reduced meat consumption and often have a few meals without any meat and it doesn’t need vegan meat either. Rice and pasta dishes mostly. Sometimes a bean stew.

Would like to find more cheap, tasty and healthy meals to add some more variety. Usually cook the same/similar foods several days in a row as otherwise it gets expensive buying so many different ingredients. Lots of carrots and potatoes, usually roasted or mashed.

Lentils? 😅

If you get red lentils, they don’t need pre-soaking for making them less farty, and they cook much quicker, too.

Love this. I’ve been making nice lentil flatbread thingies for a while that I love, but usually out of yellows. I will snag some reds so I can mix it up and make different colors.

Ah yeah, I believe, yellow lentils are also often split/dehulled, which gives them the same properties.

I guess, there’s almost certainly also going to be some shops that sell red lentils with hull, so to be more precise, you want red lentils that look frizzy and not entirely round, like the red lentils in this picture:
