Not soy or peas – this burger patty is made using protein-rich chickpeas.
Meat. The End, an Israel-based food startup engaged in making plant-based "meat" products, has unveiled the world's first texturized burger. The company claims that its newest offering mimics the smell, taste, and bite of a classic meat burger.
Plant-based alternative meat is a major revolution in the food industry that aims to provide a source of protein to the global population without sourcing them from animals. Instead, it relies on a process called extrusion which has been in use for the production of products like cereals and puffed snacks and uses it to process plant proteins into mimickingConventionally, plant-based meat companies have relied on protein from soy and, more recently, peas to make their products.
Over the next few months, the company plans to set up its extrusion plant in the country where it can produce texturized protein at an industrial scale. Extrusion is also cost-effective and uses fewer resources for production when compared to other methods. Products using this advanced process are expected to be available in the markets in 2023.
Apart from MTE, other Israeli food tech startups have also begun to use chickpeas for sourcing protein for making other vegan products or simply protein concentrates for other applications.

No fruit, ham a luxury: Hungary food prices spike most in EUFood prices have risen dramatically across Europe in recent months, but Hungary has seen the biggest spike. That's hitting consumers hard, forcing them to change what kind of food they buy and how much of it they can afford. Businesses also are rethinking what they sell as food prices in Hungary have surged more than 45% over the year. In the European Union, those costs have jumped 19.6%. An ING Hungary economist says the country's “extreme inflation” can be traced to inefficiencies in farming and food processing and a historic devaluation of the currency. That's made the surge in food prices worse than in other European economies also facing a cost-of-living crisis fueled by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
