To solve this problem an Israeli startup has manufactured vegan meat with the help of 3D printing technology. The vegan meat is made of plant-based products like soy, sunflower oil, coconut fat, and pea proteins. The name of the Israeli startup is Redefine Meat and it is based in the Israeli city Rehovot. According to Redefine Meat, the new vegan meat greatly resembles the texture, taste, and look of real meat.
