Some of the main alternative foods that are eaten instead of meat are fish and legumes, such as chickpeas or lentils.
However, there are other analogues that you should know about before the start of Lent.
What to replace meat with
If you are looking for a product rich in its composition that can replace meat, then pay attention to tofu.
The product called "Japanese cheese" is actually made from whipped soy milk and is a good source of protein and amino acids.
Another option that is available in various variations is cabbage. This vegetable is a real leader among others in terms of protein content.
Consider mushrooms. Although they grow like other crops, the protein they contain is closer in composition to animal protein than to plant protein.
The cereal called spelt, which has long appeared on the shelves of our stores, should also be of interest to you. It contains phosphorus and magnesium in almost the same quantities as fish.
