Mushroom Meat Magic

Mushroom Meat Magic

Scientists developed a rice–mushroom protein meat analogue using a simple steaming process that delivers impressive texture and nutrition. The optimal 1:6 rice-to-mushroom protein ratio produced a firm, elastic, and high-protein product containing 43% protein and a realistic color and bite similar to cooked meat.
