The Incredible▼ Eggless Egg 神奇綠豆蛋 It is finally possible to make an omelet▼ without breaking any eggs. 終於可以不用打破任何一顆蛋來做蛋捲了。
It's no secret that one of the biggest causes of pollution is the meat industry. That's why a growing group of people is going vegetarian▼ or vegan▼. In the US, the number of vegans has increased to around six percent of the population as of last year. So, more companies are looking to market a meat-free diet with plant-based replacements▼. Now, there's even an eggless egg. In late 2017, a company called JUST showed off their new product called Just Scramble▼. It's a plant-based "egg" that's really made from mung beans. Finding the right recipe▼ took four long years of testing. They even brought in Ben Roche, a Michelin-star chef, to get it right. All the hard work paid off because those who have tried it say Just Scramble tastes like the real thing. According to JUST, plant-based foods are a way of saving natural resources. Most farmland is used to grow crops that feed cows, chickens, and pigs—not humans. If more people eat plants instead of meat, it could go a long way towards solving global hunger. So do something good for the planet and your health by giving Just Scramble a try.
肉品產業是造成汙染最主要的原因之一早已不是祕密。那正是越來越多人開始吃素或吃全素的原因。在美國，從去年以來吃素的人數已增加至 6% 的人口。所以，有更多的公司打算用植物製成的替代品來銷售無肉食品。現在，甚至出現了無蛋的蛋。 2017 年年底，一家叫做 JUST 的公司展示了他們叫做 Just Scramble 的新產品。該產品是用植物製成的蛋，是真的用綠豆所做成的。找到正確的料理方式花了長達四年的時間實驗。他們甚至請到米其林主廚班•羅許來搞定這項產品。這些一切的努力都值得了，因為嚐過 Just Scramble 的那些人說它吃起來就跟真的蛋味道一樣。 根據 JUST 所說，植物製成的食品是拯救自然資源的一種方法。大部分的農地都用來種餵牛、雞及豬的農作物 —— 而不是餵人。如果更多的人食用植物而不是吃肉，對解決全球飢荒很有幫助。所以嚐嚐看 Just Scramble 有益地球和你的健康喲。
