What is vegetarian bacon made out of?

I'm not vegetarian or anything but I was watching a cooking show the other day and she put vegetarian bacon into something and it looked really gross. But I was wondering if anyone knew what it is made out of?

    These are vegetarian versions of popular dishes that non-vegetarians enjoy and are frequently consumed as fast food, comfort food, transition food for new vegetarians, or a way to show non-vegetarians that they can be vegetarians while still enjoying their favorite foods. Many vegetarians just enjoy these dishes as part of a varied diet.

    Some popular mock-meat dishes include:

    Veggie burgers (burgers usually made from grains, TVP ( a meat substitute made from defatted soy flour, a by-product of making soybean oil. It is quick to cook, high in protein, and low in fat.), seitan (wheat gluten), tempeh, and/or mushrooms)

    In some cases, one can order a burger made without any mock-meat at all, see: "burgerless burger"

    Veggie dogs (usually made from TVP)

    Imitation sausage (soysage, various types of 'salami', 'bologna', 'pepperoni', et al., made of some form of soy)

    Mockmeat or 'meatyballs' (usually made from TVP)

    Vegetarian or meatless 'chicken' (usually made from seitan, tofu or TVP)

    Jambalaya (with mock sausage and mock chicken, usually made from TVP, seitan, or tempeh)

    Tomato Omelette where tomatoes and a paste of flour is used to produce a vegetable omelette without the use of eggs.

    Scrambled eggs where tofu is mashed and fried with spices (often including tumeric, for its strong yellow color) to produce a dish that is often nearly indistinguishable from eggs.

    Mycoprotein is another common base for mock-meats, and vegetarian flavorings are added to these bases, such as sea vegetables for a seafood taste.

    Note that choa tofu and tempeh are components in certain cuisines in their own right, and do not necessarily take the place of meat.

    Vegetarian bacon is highly processed soy.

  • 7 years ago

    Smells like plastic anyway since soy is used to do such. That stuff will make a vegan of vegetarian go back to meat & dairy(the no way to avoid it argument) since the soy made them anemic & calcium deficient

    Source(s): Soy was made by man. George Washington Carver used soy & peanuts to make plastics. Soy is also used for paints & that shine you see in linoleum. Vegetable oil is also soy.

    Will depend on the context really. Which is better as a snack - fresh fruit to me. It's tastier and gives you that little of sweetness. Which can be better as a snack if you are trying hard to minimize back on sugar and lose weight vegetables
