Betagro has launched its plant-based brand Meatly in Thailand to address demand from flexitarians, vegans and consumers who want to lead a healthier lifestyle. The vegan-friendly Meatly is said to offer the same satisfying texture and flavor as pork.
According to the press release, “Meatly! is rich in fiber, using wheat to provide a silky texture, and rice bran oil, an excellent source of healthy fats providing natural moisture. Meatly! also contains oryzanol, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and beetroot to simulate the color of meat.”
