Social media hashtags like #meatfree or #vegetarian belong to the most frequent searches on Instagram, Twitter and Co. The rise in the demand for plant-based meat substitutes is a clear indicator of shift in diets. With Bühler Extrusion solution, plant proteins can be restructured into meat-like textures.
