Vegan meat prices are now lower than animal meat in the Netherlands

From veganfoodandliving.com

“Meat has always been a product that requires an enormous amount of raw materials...Plant-based meat clearly wins out on efficiency, and we now see that reflected in the price"

Vegan meat prices have dipped below their animal counterparts in the Netherlands, according to new research.

Data commissioned by international food advocacy organisation ProVeg shows that while Dutch meat prices have increased sharply, plant-based meat alternatives for things like vegan burgers and vegan sausages have become cheaper.

The data, collated by supermarket researcher Questionmark on behalf of ProVeg, was collected in February and June this year.

Researchers found significant changes when it came to the prices of various animal meat products compared to their plant-based counterparts.

Vegan meat prices

Researchers found that the prices of three plant-based alternatives fell below their meaty versions between February and June this year when comparing the cheapest of both types of products.

In February, plant-based burgers were on average 56 cents per kilo more expensive than animal-based burgers, this fell to 78 cents per kilo cheaper by June.

Plant-based chicken pieces went from being €1.16 per kilo more expensive to 37 cents per kilo cheaper.

And plant-based mincemeat was on average 29 cents per kilo more expensive than its meat counterpart in February, falling to €1.36 per kilo cheaper now.

ProVeg notes that just because ‘plant-based meat alternatives have become cheaper than meat on average does not mean that this is also the case with every plant-based meat alternative and in every supermarket’.

The cost of inflation

According to Pablo Moleman, of ProVeg Netherlands, while inflation had a significant impact on meat prices, which rose by 21 per cent between February and June, plant-based meat alternatives rose in price by only two per cent.

This can be put down to ‘higher raw material costs, combined with the inefficiency inherent in the production of meat’.

Mr Moleman said: “Meat has always been a product that requires an enormous amount of raw materials. To make one kilogram of meat, you need up to ten kilograms of grain. Now, in times of scarcity, that takes its toll.

“Due to the large use of raw materials, meat is much more sensitive to disruptions in the world market than meat alternatives. Plant-based meat clearly wins out on efficiency, and we now see that reflected in the price.”

Low profit margins on meat prices

He also cited the ‘wafer-thin margins on meat products’ as a possible factor, saying: “Supermarkets try to attract customers by offering meat as cheaply as possible. Margins of around eight per cent are common, and sometimes meat is even sold below cost.

“Meat alternatives, on the other hand, have margins of 35 per cent to 50 per cent. Those higher margins may have acted as a buffer to absorb the price blows, while with meat, supermarkets had no choice but to raise prices.

“That could explain why meat has been hit so hard by price increases and plant-based substitutes have not.”

Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for summer beans with basil aïoli

From theguardian.com

Once upon a time, I ate a fish soup dolloped handsomely with aioli, and boy was that a day. It was less about how good the soup or the aioli were, and more the pleasure of stirring a little (or the whole lot) of something rich, potent and creamy into the warm, light soup. The more I stirred, the more decadent the soup became. I think both greens and beans take well to creaminess, so I’ve used them as conduits here in this light summer stew, to re-create a similar experience for you.

Summer beans with basil aïoli

You’ll need a blender or stick blender to make the aioli.

Prep 10 min
Cook 40 min

Serves 2 

200g silken tofu (drained weight)
5 garlic cloves, peeled, 3 minced
1¼ tsp fine sea salt
1½ tbsp lemon juice
20g picked basil leaves, plus extra to serve
7 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
6 sticks celery (400g net), finely chopped
1 large red onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato puree
200g green beans, halved
150ml white wine
1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, drained

In a blender (or with a stick blender), blitz together the tofu, the two whole peeled garlic cloves, a quarter-teaspoon of salt, lemon juice, the basil leaves and three tablespoons of oil, then transfer to a serving bowl.

Put the remaining four tablespoons of oil in a medium to large saucepan on a medium heat and, when hot, add the celery and onion, and sweat, stirring often, for 20 minutes, until reduced and caramelised. Add the three minced cloves of garlic, cook, stirring, for two minutes, then stir in the tomato puree, remaining teaspoon of salt and the green beans. Add the wine and let it evaporate away for about six or so minutes. Add the cannellini beans and 600ml just-boiled water, leave to simmer for five to seven minutes, until the cannellini are tender, then take off the heat.

Distribute the beans between two bowls and serve each topped with a dollop of basil aïoli, plenty more olive oil and a few basil leaves.

How To Pair Vegan Cheese And Wine Like A Pro

From vegnews.com

We asked a wine expert how to pair vegan cheese and wine like an expert. Here’s what we learned

Wine and cheese is a famous pairing that sommeliers, chefs, and diners have perfected over centuries. If you’re dairy-free or open to expanding your culinary horizons, do the same rules apply to pairing wine with vegan cheese? The answer is: yes, they do. If you learn the ins and outs of wine and cheese pairings, you can create some beautiful plant-based culinary experiences.

First, let’s talk about cheese. Why does it pair so well with wine? “The acids and tannins in wine are subdued by the fat and creamy texture of cheese, which creates a chemical reaction and physical sensation on your palate. In exactly the same way that tannic, strong tea is mellowed by a touch of milk or milk substitute,” Frances Gonzalez, owner and founder of Vegan Wines, tells VegNews. For example, cheese helps decrease the astringency of red wine while bringing out its fruitiness.

When pairing things the vegan way, you’ll want to choose dairy-free versions of the types of cheeses you’d typically serve with wine. Think classic wine pairings such as pinot noir and gruyère, champagne and brie, and cabernet sauvignon with aged cheddar. 

“Above any flavour combination or contrast, you always want to make sure that the intensity of flavours is about even in the cheese and the wine, or you will lose subtlety for whichever element is more delicate,” explains Gonzalez.

Thankfully, there’s a growing movement of artisan vegan cheese makers who follow the traditional methods. Making cheese the traditional way requires two key components: milk and bacterial cultures. As traditional cheese ferments, its texture becomes drier and its flavour becomes more intense. This is because the bacterial cultures break the lactose down into lactic acid while the proteins become amino acid compounds that give aged cheese its flavour. 

Instead of dairy, vegan cheese mongers grind nuts or seeds into a paste, combine it with bacteria, and let it age. By recreating the specific circumstances that turn milk and bacteria into stinky cheese, they can transform plant-based ingredients into something that would fool most. Cashews—favoured by brands such as Miyoko’s Creamery, Nuts for Cheese, and The Uncreamery—are the popular nut for the job, due to their high fat content.

How to pick a vegan wine

Bad news: not all wine is vegan. Good news: but a lot of it is. Some winemakers use isinglass (the dried swim bladder of fish) to filter out sediments. This process is called “fining,” and it gives the wine a crisper flavour and clearer appearance, but it’s not necessary to use animal by-products. More winemakers are adopting animal-free fining practices, which include the use of ceramic filters or bentonite clay. Some skip this clarification process altogether. 

When looking for wine, check for “vegan” on the label. If there’s no indication of how the wine was filtered, check out our guide to vegan-friendly wines or search for the company on Barnivore.com, an extensive database of vegan libations. 

Tips for pairing vegan wine with cheese

The same rules that you would apply to pairing wine with dairy-based cheese apply to imbibing your favourite vino with artisan vegan cheese. 

Throughout this guide, we reference types of vegan cheese, such as mozzarella or camembert, but may not recommend a brand for every suggestion. Check out our vegan cheese guide for a more comprehensive list of which brands make which varieties.

Nuts for Cheese

1Match age and intensity

Just like cheese becomes bolder in flavour as it ages, the wine undergoes a transformation, becoming heavier and bolder. Reds become more earthy in colour while clear whites take on hues of straw. Young wines, meanwhile, tend to have notes of fruit, florals, citrus, herbs, and spices, and they go well with creamy plant-based cheeses. 

Heavy, tannic reds go well with old, dry vegan cheeses that are rich in flavour. Try cabernet sauvignon with vegan brie or sharp, aged cheddar. Or pair chardonnay with vegan camembert or gruyère.

Sparkling wines, dry rosés, light red wines, and crisp white wines will taste good with vegan mozzarella or chevre. These are dairy-free versions of fresh cheeses—cheese made from fresh curds that have not been aged. The flavour ranges from mild to tangy and the texture can be anywhere from spreadable to crumbly.

2Salty and funky go together

While it’s natural to combine cheeses of similar ages, this pairing is all about contrast. Break out sweet wines if you’re serving pungent, washed-rind, blue-veined vegan cheeses, including gorgonzola and blue cheese. The sugars in the wine balance the funk while the cheese prevents the sweetness of the wine from overpowering your palate. Choose dessert wines such as Moscato d’Asti or riesling, or reach for a sweet red wine, like zinfandel or port.

3Sparkling wine loves soft cheese

Sparkling wine is appropriate for all occasions, with its effervescent bubbles that dance on your palate, a typically high acidity, and flavours that range from very dry (extra brut) to noticeably sweet (demi-sec). Though there are many types of sparkling wine, the three most popular are champagne, prosecco, and Cava, while sparkling rosé has grown a bigger fan following in recent years. 

The bubbles offer a palate-cleansing effect after the fat from a bite of a rich, creamy, or funky vegan cheese such as brie, muenster, camembert, or mozzarella coats your mouth. Hard, nutty, aged nut cheeses will work as well.

Pairings: 2019 Tarantas Sparkling White and Miyoko’s Creamery Organic Cashew Mozzarella, Surely Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rosé and SriMu Elder-Brie

Rescue Dog Wines

4Pair vegan wine and cheese from similar regions

It’s said that what grows together goes together. This nugget of wisdom applies to cooking as well as pairing wine with cheese. Summer produce like zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, and basil pair harmoniously together. Similarly, wine and cheese that come from the same region are typically a good match. 

Because the artisan vegan cheese market is still growing, don’t worry if you can’t find a legitimate plant-based version of Époisses de Bourgogne to go with your Burgundy wine. An approximation works just fine. So, try sauvignon blanc with vegan chevre or have a bottle of prosecco ready to go with a Caprese salad featuring cashew mozzarella.

Pairings: Rescue Dog Wines Sauvignon Blanc and Spero Foods The Goat, Tiamo Organic Prosecco and Catalyst Creamery Mozzarella

 Miyoko’s Creamery

5When in doubt…

If you plan on serving an assortment of vegan cheeses and you want to simplify choosing the wine, you can rarely do wrong with something bubbly, like champagne. Though, any sparkling wine, from dry to sweet, will work with a plant-based cheese platter.

“I would lean toward a mild cheese with herbal flavours, something that will play differently with each wine that you offer and will highlight individual characteristics,” says Gonzalez.

On the other hand, sometimes you may have multiple wines and fewer cheeses. Here, you’ll want a firm, cashew-based cheese that strikes the right balance between fatty and dry. Cheese wheels by brands such as Miyoko’s Creamery or Treeline would do well here.

In addition to this, you might also want to consider serving your pairing alongside crackers, seasonal fruit, nuts, and dark chocolate.

What Is Vegan Haircare? Plus The Top 15 Brands To Try

From vegnews.com

Going vegan is more than the food you eat. Learn how to easily build your new vegan haircare routine in just a few steps

Traditional haircare products have a longstanding history of not being vegan. For centuries (yes, we mean that literally), animal ingredients have been used in haircare as a means to clean, condition, and style hair. However, the haircare industry is experiencing a radical shift. Shoppers are finally calling on their favourite beauty brands to make the switch to vegan and cruelty-free ingredients. And just as we’ve seen in the food industry, a bit of innovation and more intentional ingredient sourcing has led to the development of vegan alternatives that perform exactly the same—if not better—than its animal-derived counterparts. No longer a niche or hard-to-find category, vegan haircare is extremely accessible. With a little research and planning, you can easily transform your entire hair routine with all cruelty-free and vegan haircare products.

How to know if a beauty product is vegan

Knowing how to identify a vegan beauty product may initially pose some challenges; most consumers just aren’t educated on the ingredients that make up these household items. Some of the most common and well-known animal-derived haircare ingredients include keratin, collagen, elastin, beeswax, silk, squalene, carmine, and lanolin. With that said, many animal byproducts often sneak into the ingredients lists disguised under different names. Carmine—a colorant made from the crushed shells of the cochineal insect—is also referred to as natural red 4, E120, and C.I. 75470. In some cases, ingredients can be found in both animals and plants. For example, stearic acid, known for its ability to emulsify products and soften hair, can be derived from either sheep stomach or plant fat.

Oftentimes products that are 100-percent vegan will state this directly on the packaging. Reputable certifications from organizations like Vegan.org and The Vegan Society may also be present on the packaging. If the packaging does not explicitly state its vegan status, it’s best to either reach out to the company directly or avoid it altogether.

What’s the difference between vegan and cruelty-free haircare?

Animal testing continues to be an outdated practice when it comes to determining the safety of cosmetic products. And contrary to popular belief, vegan and cruelty-free are not synonymous. Just because a product is vegan does not guarantee that animals were not harmed in the creation of that product.

Animal testing can happen at virtually any stage of product development. Individual ingredients, vegan or not, can be tested on animals to see if it causes negative reactions. This can occur at any other stage of formulation as well, even after the products hit shelves. 

In some countries, cosmetic animal testing has been outlawed. The EU and Mexico are two nations that have banned this practice. Other countries, such as China and the entirety of the US, have fallen short in banning cosmetic animal testing. Thankfully, a handful of US states have passed legislation banning the sale of animal-tested products—a step forward to ending the inhumane and unnecessary practice for good.

Still, it’s important to remember that a vegan product does not guarantee it is also cruelty-free. One way to verify a cruelty-free product is to scan the packaging for reputable cruelty-free certifications. Leaping Bunny and Choose Cruelty Free are the two most respectable organizations. PETA certifications, while popular, do not abide by as strict regulations as the latter two. Therefore, additional research may be necessary to ensure you are making the most ethical purchases possible.

Where to buy vegan haircare

These days, accessing and purchasing vegan and cruelty-free haircare is easier than ever. Vegan options can be found in nearly every retailer, whether that be in-stores or online. Popular retailers like Sephora and Ulta make finding vegan haircare products a breeze—just look for the vegan label. Other retailers, such as Target, Walmart, and CVS, also carry a wide selection of available options. Again, check those cruelty-free and vegan labels—they’re easy to spot and don’t require reading a long list of ingredients you can’t identify or pronounce.
