To save fish: Japan developed “tuna” from plant ingredients
[ad_1]
The Japanese company NH Foods has developed a product from plant-based ingredients, which is called a “tuna alternative”. The inventors hope that this will help preserve the stocks of this species of fish in the world’s oceans.
The company says it spent six months developing the product’s taste and texture to resemble real fish, NHK News reports.
NH Foods says the product is made from “konyaku” (a genus of subtropical tuberous plant eaten in Japan) based on yams and other ingredients.
The company also developed a plant-based ramen noodle soup that recreates the taste of pork bone broth, and Korean-style beef sandwiches with soy meat.
