Eco-friendly alternative to traditional bacon

Umaro Foods has developed a seaweed-based bacon as an alternative to traditional pork bacon. Their bacon is crafted with red seaweed protein, sunflower and coconut oils, chickpea and seaweed protein, cane sugar, sea salt, plant-derived flavors, and natural colors like paprika and red radish juice. The result is a product comparable to pork-based bacon in terms of texture and taste. Pant-based bacon can be significantly more environmentally friendly than conventional bacon, as producing plant-based meat substitutes emits 30-90% less greenhouse gases.
