Anushka Sharma — Plant-based meat is all plant and not meat at all. It is faux meat manufactured from the plants to look, feel, and taste like conventional meat products.

They have zero cholesterol but are often calorically similar to animal-based products. There are available in many forms including nuggets, sausages, and burger patties.
