Juicy Marbles, a plant-based meat company, has recently launched its latest product – plant-based pork ribs with soy ‘bones’ that can be air-fried and enjoyed like traditional pork scratchings. The product, called ‘Bone-In’ Ribs, aims to bring back the joy of eating meat off the bone for vegetarians and vegans who miss the experience. Unlike slow cooking methods that can take hours, these ribs can be cooked in the oven in just 15 minutes, according to Juicy Marbles. The price of the product has not been confirmed yet, but it is expected to be higher than real meat versions, as with previous products from the company.
Juicy Marbles’ ‘Bone-In’ Ribs are made with realistic plant-based ‘flesh’ and edible soy-based ‘bones’. The company states that the bones are made from nutritious plant-protein and can also be consumed. The ingredients for the ribs include water, soy protein concentrate, sunflower oil, natural flavors, thickeners (carrageenan & methylcellulose), red beet juice concentrate, apple extract, salt, and vitamin B12. Although a limited batch of the ribs has already sold out, Juicy Marbles plans to release them more widely in 2024.
The firm claims that the ‘Bone-In’ Ribs offer a perfect combination of crispy, melt-in-your-mouth crust and tender, juicy meat. They are made primarily from soy protein, sunflower oil, and water. The ‘bones’ and ‘flesh’ have different consistencies, as shown in promotional photos, but specific ingredient information for each component is not provided on the Juicy Marbles website. Further details on the manufacturing process have been requested from the company.
Juicy Marbles aims to create plant-based meat alternatives that closely resemble real meat. The company acknowledges that not all vegans avoid meat due to dislike, but rather for environmental or health reasons. Livestock farming is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and a diet heavy in red meat has been linked to various health conditions. Nevertheless, Juicy Marbles products are suitable for both vegans and meat eaters looking for a unique dining experience.
In addition to the ‘Bone-In’ Ribs, Juicy Marbles has already released a plant-based filet mignon steak and a whole cut loin. The filet mignon steak, made with sunflower oil to mimic the marbling of fat, received positive reviews for its exquisite texture and juicy chunks. The company’s meat imitations are created with a patent-pending technology called the ‘Meat-o-Matic 9000’, which replicates muscle structures by layering proteins into linear fibers.
Lab-grown steaks may soon appear on British menus as Israeli start-up Aleph Farms becomes the first company to apply for regulatory approval from the UK’s Food Standards Agency. Each steak is cultivated from a single batch of cells taken from a cow and takes around four weeks to grow. While approval typically takes two years, Aleph Farms plans to begin production in the UK in the near future. This development comes a decade after the world’s first lab-grown beef burger was presented by Professor Mark Post at Maastricht University, using cells grown in a lab.
Overall, Juicy Marbles and other companies in the plant-based meat industry are working towards creating alternatives that closely resemble traditional meat products, providing consumers with more sustainable and healthier options for their diets.
