The flexitarian diet comes with health benefits, including better weight management, improved heart health, and a lower risk of chronic diseases.
As the festive season starts, many families across India find themselves embracing traditional practices that involve abstaining from meat, often due to religious beliefs or cultural customs.
However, this shift in diet can leave many, especially those in flexitarian households, craving the familiar flavours of meat-based dishes. To satisfy these cravings without breaking tradition, Plantaway, India’s award-winning plant-based food company, offers a range of nutritious and delicious meat alternatives that allow families to enjoy their favourite festive foods in a plant-based form.
The flexitarian diet, which emphasises a primarily plant-based diet with the occasional inclusion of meat, has been lauded for its health benefits, including better weight management, improved heart health, and a lower risk of chronic diseases. Plantaway’s offerings align perfectly with this lifestyle, providing a nutritious way to reduce meat consumption without sacrificing the flavours and nutrients that many people crave during the festive season.
Romil Ratra, Founder Plantaway, says, “Festive seasons often bring a deep connection to traditional foods, but for those observing meat-free practices, there’s a desire to experience those familiar flavours in a new way. Our plant-based products are more than just substitutes; they represent a thoughtful evolution of culinary tradition, combining the richness and satisfaction of meat-based dishes with the benefits of plant-based nutrition”.
Understanding the diverse needs of Indian households, Plantaway has crafted its offerings to cater to both single-person homes and larger families.
