If you’ve tried to buy mock meat at the supermarket or in a restaurant, you’ll know the price is sometimes eye-watering. But that could all be about to change, as the UAE is now home to two of its own plant-based meat factories — great news for vegans in Dubai.
Following the news that THRYVE has opened a meat substitutes factory in Dubai Industrial City, another homegrown plant-based meat brand has opened a factory in the capital.
Switch Foods boasts a 20,000 sq ft factory in Abu Dhabi where they will produce 100 percent GMO-free, allergen-free, gluten-free, soy-free and vegan kebabs, kofta, sujuk, minced meat and burger patties from May 1. The brand will be using pea protein to create that oh-so-juicy bite.
