Swedish startup Hooked Seafood AB plans to launch vegan shredded salmon and tuna in Europetwo of the most consumed seafood products in the region. The company is still perfecting the salmon recipe, which is made with soy protein isolate, seaweed and algae, algal oil (to fortify it with omega-3 fatty acids), carrots for color, and smoked ingredients for added flavor.

Hooked was founded in 2019 by entrepreneurs Emil Wasteson and Tom Johansson, who realized that there were few vegan products that rivaled traditional seafood in taste and nutrition. In their research, the founders learned about the destructive practices of the global seafood industry, such as overfishing (which is endangering many species); the overuse of antibiotics on shrimp farms; and the presence of mercury and microplastics in sea animals.

It became obvious that the current seafood industry is environmentally unsustainable, and that seafood consists of more toxins than ever before, Johansson told FoodNavigator. We found that the problem with shrimp is essentially the same for tuna and salmon. The issue lies in producing as much as possible for as low cost as possible. Demand is growing for seafood, what is [compromised] is the health of the animals and the planet.

Hooked was recently accepted to the 2020 class of Berlin-based incubator ProVeg International, where it received 20,000 ($22,760) to fund the development of its company. While Hooked is still finalizing its shredded vegan salmon, it plans to launch its vegan tuna product first in collaboration with a co-packer in the Netherlands through the foodservice sector before eventually expanding to retail. Hooked also plans to develop vegan shrimp and calamari in its mission to become the leading plant-based seafood company in Europe.

Swedish Brand to Launch Vegan Shredded Salmon in Europe - VegNews

Swedish startup Hooked is developing vegan tuna and the worlds first vegan shredded salmon.

Alongside cod, salmon and tuna are the most consumed species of fish in Europe. As it stands, the industry is unsustainable. Seafood consumption has increased rapidly in the past two decades, leading to problems with overfishing. Sixty percent of the worlds fisheries are fully-exploited or fully-fished.

After becoming aware of the major problems in the seafood industry, Hooked co-founders Emil Wasteson and Tom Johannson wanted to create a more environmentally-friendly option.

The current seafood industry is already unsustainable, Wasteson told LIVEKINDLY. [It] is expected to grow with another 30 percent until 2030.

He mentioned the risks of overfishing and destroyed ecosystems, as well as the issues that come with oxygen-deprived fish farms. Fish that escape can threaten ecosystems.

There are also health issues that come with eating fish. It can contain microplastics and heavy-metals. Farmed fish are often fed low-quality feed, which can lead to a bad fat profile in the seafood, said Wasteson.

The brand is developing vegan tuna and vegan shredded salmon using soy protein isolate. Sea algae and seaweed help with the fishy flavor, and a wet extrusion method helps achieve the right texture. According to Wasteson, Hooked can scale its plant-based solution without harming the planet.

The vegan seafood alternatives will include all the good seafood nutrients, like omega-3 and protein.We believe both the environmental and health aspects are important,added Wasteson.

In the future, Hooked also aims to offer vegan prawns and calamari. Its first product will be vegan tuna, but its hero product will be the flaked salmon, which is currently still in development. Wasteson said: it will be a shredded salmon with various flavors, perfect to use in bowls, salads, wraps, pies, and pasta dishes.

First, Hooked will aim to offer its products in the foodservice and ready meal industries in the EU, before moving into retail eventually.

Wasteson noted: We believe the biggest social impact and monetary potential in the food system is to make it as easy as possible for regular people to choose more sustainable alternatives in their everyday life.

Swedish Startup Is Creating the First Flaked Vegan Salmon - LIVEKINDLY

Vegan lifestyles have been on the rise in recent years and these restaurants are not playing around when it comes to veggies.

The vegan lifestyle is no longer as taboo as it once was and every day, more people are leaning on a meat and dairy-free diet, especially with veggie-friendly international cuisines. With so many ways to find plant-based protein and so many accessible ingredients, it's not surprising that vegan restaurants have also taken the food industry by storm. Many people who enjoy them aren't even vegans but simply appreciate the option to swap out a heavy steak dinner with something a little creative, a little fun, and highly innovative.

Farm-to-table menus and advances in molecular gastronomy have furthered vegetarian and veganism in ways chefs never could have imagined, and many are not pioneering the vegan world. From avant-garde dining to homestyle twists, these restaurants are pushing the envelope so much that it's earned them the title of one of the best vegan options for 2020.

Not only does Somebody People offer a diverse menu, but the name alone is unique, and it might even sound familiar to some...Any guesses? The line "somebody people" appears in David Bowie's song "Five Years"! Now, how could anyone go wrong with a Bowie-inspired restaurant name?

Somebody People isn't just rocking its title, though. With a Mediterranean-inspired menu, Somebody People is crafting comforting dishes from scratch, including their very own pasta and almond ricotta. The owners of this restaurant, Tricia and Samuel Maher, have even taken things a step further and instituted a zero-waste initiative.

Foodies can find just about anything in New York, and Brooklyn, with its inspired art scene and hip dining, is home to none other than Public Records. This building not only houses a record store, record bar, andentertainment venue but is also home to a vegan cafe.

Those craving a solid vegan menu will also be psyched to find a well-thought-out drink menu, furnished with creatively crafted drinks that stand apart from others in a similar venue.

Down in New Orleans Breads on Oak are finding new-age ways to not only serve vegan food but to preserve the ecosystem in which it's procured, as well. The restaurant is mostly solar-powered and also has a zero-waste policy, making them uber environmentally-friendly while worshipping the food they harvest from it.

Even better, their artisan bread selections are organic and their food is scratch-made, complete with a family atmosphere and a down-home smile.

Millennium isn't new to the vegan scene, but they're still rocking the world of veganism over two decadeslater. This restaurant can be foundright in the center of the city and visitors will not be disappointed with this seasonally-inspired menu.

The dishes served are organic and wholesome, crafted with only the finest produce and the freshest of ingredients around. The menu also consists of several international influences, making it a dynamic experience as well as one that's full of variety.

Natural Selection just seems like it would be a good name for a vegetarian and vegan restaurant, and this one is doing things right. In Northeast Portland, foodies will absolutely fall in love with this town as well as Natural Selection.

The menu here is modern and incorporates new and fresh flavors that don't echo what many think when they think of vegan foods. These European-inspired dishes are high in flavor and surprising in presentation, and definitely shouldn't be missed out on.

New Finnish Vegan Cheese Brand Launches in the US to Revolutionize Pizza Shops - VegNews

I dont think anyone is too surprised, said vegan nutritionist Paul Kerton.

In a video released on YouTube earlier this week, Jon Venus revealed that he is no longer vegan after becoming a dad two years ago made him question his general philosophical perspective on veganism and the fact that its nutritional benefits are contentious.

His announcement has led to many from the vegan community including his own brother Dr. Leo Venus speaking out on Venuss decision to switch to an omnivore diet.

Dr. Venus said in a follow up video, that (Jons) decision isnt going to look the best for the vegan movement for a while, but its not that big of a deal, we still have the science, we still have a ton of people.

Redress the claims

Paul Kerton, a vegan nutritionist and influencer made his own video discussing the news and said that while he didnt want to slam Venus for his decision he didnt want people to be swayed without knowing the truth.

He then proceeded to answer Venuss arguments in a stepwise fashion.

Answering venuss concern on the nutrition of his baby, Kerton responded: We know that the higher serum LDL level of the mother, the more likely that the fetus or the unborn baby will have fatty lesions , the bedrock of atherosclerosis in their aorta.

Thats right folks the number one cause of death in humans starts in the womb predicated on whether your mum beats animal products or processed junk.

In the beginning of the video, Kerton recommended parents concerned about raising their kids vegan read Becoming Vegan, as it is a comprehensive guide on plant-based nutrition.

No confusion

Debunking Venus next argument on nutritional papers being confusing, Kerton said it was only confusing for the ones following those who didnt understand how the science works.

He continued that there is evidence that plant based doctors are treating and reversing some of the deadliest diseases and no animal based diet has been similarly proved to prevent 14 of the leading 15 causes of death and reverse 5 including the top killer -heart disease.

Biases

According to Venus: A lot of times when youre vegan, especially for me, you are in this bubble. You are in the mindset of we are doing something that is ethical, were doing this because it feels right in every single wayand because this is my perspective, Im only going to listen to other people with the same perspective that have the same mission.

While Kerton agreed that at times people did develop biases but it made no difference to the fact that animal products are horrible for human health and does not contain any nutrient that cant be better sourced from elsewhere and after months of research, Kerton said he had come to the conclusion that if he didnt go vegan, he wouldve been the orchestrator of his death similar to 75% of his fellow westerners who die because of eating a heavy animal diet or processed junk food.

Countering Venuss opinion in which he said that he was influenced into feeling a vegan diet was optimal based on the targeted opinions of big associations like The American Dietetics Association (ADA), Kerton said that the ADA has never explicitly advocated a vegan diet. He referenced a post, in which ADA recommended that children should be fed fish and parents should take their children fishing.

Questioning Venuss claim that we are all trying to come from a place of compassion and love and trying to make the world a better place, Kerton asked: How can that be done while paying for murder and environmental devastation?

Kerton addressed Venuss other points of contention such as the need for B12 supplementation, inconclusive evidence that veganism was optimal for children, long term health benefits of a vegan diet, and more.

Dismissing Venuss rant about how close friends and allies divorced him after his decision to ditch veganism, while his other friends said they respected his choice Kerton replied: I personally cannot believe that any serious vegan could respect anyone for funding animal abuse.

Jon Venus blasted after announcing he has quit veganism - Totally Vegan Buzz

Jackfruit has become popular in the west in the last five or six years. In the UK, customers can order jackfruit pepperoni-topped vegan pizza from Italian restaurant chain Zizzi and pizza delivery chain Papa Johns. In the U.S., in West Los Angeles, there is a whole vegan cafe dedicated to jackfruit. But what is jackfruit? and how do you turn it into vegan meat?

When shredded, jackfruit has a similar texture to pulled pork or chicken, it can also be used to create vegan fish dishes, nuggets, and various other meaty textures.

While jackfruit may be new to western consumers, its not new to many across Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Food writer and blogger Pat Tanumihardja wrote for Food 52:a good portion of the worldthink Southeast and South Asiahas adored jackfruit for centuries. She added,while its being touted as a vegan miracle in the west, jackfruit is an abundant food source for millions in Asia, not just vegans.

Its not known for certain when jackfruit was first discovered, but it could date back as far as 300 B.C.

There are records of Greek philosopher Theophrastus writing about a wonderfully sweet and large fruit being consumed in India at this time. Jackfruits can grow very big; they are the largest tree fruit in the world and can weigh up to 100 pounds.

There are two types of jackfruit available: young and unripe and mature and ripe. The former is ideal for vegan meat alternatives. Tanumihardja explains, its pale green and starchy, and meat-like in texture. Treated like a vegetable, unripe jackfruit is very versatile and absorbs the flavors of the spices its cooked with.

If you buy a whole jackfruit, it may be quite tricky to break apart. It can also end up being quite sticky. Once open, youll need to cut away the stringy parts that are between the fruits, according to food blog The Happy Foodie. These are the parts that can be used to create a pulled pork-like vegan meat.

You can also buy jackfruit in a tin, which is arguably less messy. Food writer Jessica Lockyer-Palmer writes for The Happy Foodie:all you will need to do is drain and rinse the jackfruit, remove the core and cut the pieces in half, removing any seeds as you go.

Jackfruit has a number of nutritional benefits. Its a good source of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber.

It also contains phytochemicals, including flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The American Institute for Cancer Research states that many phytochemicals have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants can help to combat free radicals, aka highly reactive molecules, which may play a role in cancer development and other chronic diseases.

As the name suggests, Biona Organic specializes in selling 100 percent organic, ethical, and sustainably-sourced products. It offers several different types of canned jackfruit, including Jackfruit Yellow Thai Curry, Jackfruit Stew, and Jackfruit Chilli & Lime. Biona Organic is stocked in various different health food shops across the UK, as well as major supermarkets, including Sainsburys, Tesco, Waitrose, and Ocado.

Uptons Naturals offers a wide range of jackfruit-based products, including Original Jackfruit, Bar-B-Que Jackfruit, and Sweet and Smoky Jackfruit. The Chicago-based brand also offers seitan products, vegan meal kits, and vegan jerky bites. Its products are available from a range of locations, including Amazon, Thrive Market in the U.S, Pak n Save in Australia, and Holland & Barrett in the UK.

The Jackfruit Company is the number one jackfruit brand in the U.S. It sells everything from Plant-Based Pulled Pork to Teriyaki Jackfruit to Bulk Smoked Jackfruit. You can buy it from a number of retailers, including Amazon, Vons, and Whole Foods.

London-based Clearspring sells a variety of jackfruit products. The company specializes in selling Japanese, macrobiotic, and organic fine foods. It offers Japanese Umami Jackfruit Burgers, Organic Young Jackfruit Chunks, and Vegan Jackfruit Fish Fingers. Head straight to the website to buy.

If you love BBQ pulled pork, but you dont want the cruelty involved, then this recipe is for you. Its simple, tasty, and will fool any meat-eater. It calls for young green jackfruit in water, which is drained and cleaned, and then tossed with BBQ spices. Serve with tasty avocado slaw.

Singing sensation and flutist Lizzo has been keeping us entertained amidst the endless hours at home by sharing fun videos from her kitchen of her cooking up vegan meals on TikTok, and were loving all of herdishes. Now she claps back against body shamers with a workout video and narration that is totally great and could be in one of her songs:

"So I've been working out consistently for the past five years. And it might come as a surprise to y'all that Im not working out to have your ideal body type, Im working out to have my ideal body type. And you know what type that is? None of your f**king business, becauseI am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job and I stay on my job,

"So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them, whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald's, or workout or not workout, how about you look at your own f**king self and worryabout your ownself, because health is not just determined by what you look like on the outside but who you are on the inside. Sohow about you look at your own self and a lot of yall have to a f**king cleanse for your insides. Namastay. Have a great day.

As she says this, we watch her on her deck doing strength training with a hand weight and on her stationary bike, pedaling andLizzo shows off her curves in a bathing suit, to be strong and beautiful, just as she says. Her nearly 4 million viewers are loving it.

First, there was her plant-based riff on McDonalds Spicy McChicken Sandwich Then came vegan Jamaican beef patties). Now, were getting hungry just watching her whip up her latest plant-based meal, this time with a cameo from one of our favorite vegan staples,the amazingly real tasteJUST Egg formula. Hey, so Im eating my feelings because the world continues to let me down. So Im making some biscuits right here.

Lizzo narrates the start of a recent cooking tutorial. In the video, she spikes her batter with some jalapeos and what appears to be vegan shredded cheddar cheese, along with some veggie sausage and some JUST Egg to give the biscuits delicious texture and eggy flavor. To accompany these savory, sausage-stuffed biscuits, Lizzo makes fried oyster mushroom, which also features JUST egg in the batter to help transform the mushrooms into a crispy, crunchy chicken leg-inspired marvel. Lest you think carbs and shrooms were all that was on Lizzos plate, the singer rounded out the meal with a simple spinach salad with strawberries, tomato, and onion with a squeeze of lime and olive oil. After everything came out it tasted delicious, listen to this crunch!, she says as she exhales and emphatically adds, boy, stop. Watch the full video below.

Were looking forward to taking a stab at this recipe on our own, but for the time being, we think well be popping some new JUST Foldedinto our toaster, plopping these plant-based eggs on toast, adding hot sauce, and calling it a night.

The demand for cruelty-free and vegan beauty products is higher than ever before, and and a growing number of skin-care, makeup, and hair-care brands are listening. Leading the charge to offer products that don't test on animals or include animal-byproduct ingredients are black-owned beauty brands. Largely independent, these brands are often driven by passionate founders whose compassion toward animals matches their enthusiasm for hair health, glamorous makeup looks, and glowing skin.

As more and more brands prioritize being cruelty-free in the formulation of their products, there has been a push not only for ingredients that haven't been tested on animals, but also ingredients that aren't derived from animals. So many of the brands on this list, even if they can't say all of their products are vegan, can say they are vegan-friendly by offering an impressive number of vegan options.

Inspired by a recent Instagram post by @veganmakeupshare, we're highlighting some well-known and up-and-coming Black-owned cruelty-free and/or vegan beauty brands so you can add them to your to-shop list. Get to know them and some of their best products below.

I love vegan sausage rolls. They are a serious craving of mine. Ive been obsessed with them ever since buying them at the canteen in highschool. I think in reality I just love puff pastry, but the puff pastry is the reason I didnt want to upload this post. As delicious as it is, its not very healthy.

Most store-bought options are actually vegan but are made with highly processed margarine which is a source of trans fats, refined flour, and preservatives. For that reason, I dont have pastry very often at all. I hardly ever cook with it at home.

I wanted to attempt to make my own puff pastry, but I was too scared in the end. Its a lot of work for a dish that should be relatively easy. And I didnt want to risk the recipe not working. (Im not good with dough and pastry making.) I had a friend that said if you just load the veggie sausage rolls up with as much healthy filling as you can, then a little bit of puff pastry from time to time is probably ok. I completely agree with that. So I decided to go with it and just upload my favorite sausage roll recipe.

In the past, I have been more particular about making sure all the recipes I upload were consistent with my idea of healthy (yes I know we all have different definitions of healthy), but the truth is that even though healthy eating is incredibly important, its also important to not stress over food. I dont like the idea of dieting and restriction, and I definitely eat unhealthy things on the regular. Besides the filling is pretty healthy and delicious! Thats all I am going to say for this post. Enjoy!

There were activists with bullhorns, and artists painting designs on the street.

Stalls collected donations for the homeless and others offered vegan curry. There were people posing for images in front of a boarded-up police station, while others sat on the grass. There were people of colour, and there were white people, lots of white people.

But the ugly anarchists denounced by Donald Trump on Twitter that very morning? Could it be they existed only in his imagination?

The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, six city blocks close to the centre of Seattle that has become the focus of a protest in the wake of the death of George Floyd, may be many things. Yet an attempt to take over, or occupy the city it is not.

I think that is a ridiculous circumstance by which they even presented the narrative. This is not an autonomous zone. Were not trying to secede from the United States, said a protester called Maurice, asked about the presidents comments.
