While there are many milk substitutes (替代品) on the market,most fall short of imitating dairy milk.And while vegetarians around the world have become accustomed to these substitutes,millions of milk drinkers are unsatisfied with these options,which don’t often taste,look,and blend like dairy milk.That accuracy is exactly what Impossible Foods has set out to develop.“We want milk that a dairy milk consumer will choose,” said CEO Pat Brown at a virtual conference call.
Like the famous Impossible Burger which tastes and cooks like real meat,Impossible Milk will also most likely be soy-based,giving it a protein profile(外形) like dairy milk.While the product is still in development for at least another year,Brown said in the conference call that soy is a very good choice from a nutritional standpoint and a supply chain standpoint,and for those reasons he thinks there’s a great chance that it will be the base protein for their product.
Plant-based milk,meat and other products have been rising over the past several years as environmental and health concerns have grown,especially among millennials(千禧一代).According to a study by YouGov,approximately 55 percent of millennials surveyed agree with the statement “I am open to substituting meat or dairy products with healthy substitutes”.
And the market is seeing this preference take shape.According to the Dairy Farmers of America,milk sales dropped by $1.1 billion between 2017 and 2018. While at the same time,the Plant-Based Food Association revealed that the sales of plant-based milk increased a lot,making up 15 percent of the total milk market.
As the trend towards choosing plant-based substitutes grows,so do the products,which can now be found in supermarkets throughout the world.With no plans of slowing down,plant-based food substitutes are a micro revolution that is changing the very culture of our food consumption from the bottom all the way to the top.
