Vegan Meat Floss' Overview

Vegetarian meat floss (also called vegan meat floss) originated from a popular food ingredient in the history of most Asian countries' dishes. Some cultures call the vegetarian meat floss meat sung or rou song, which is typically made from meats like chicken, beef, fish, or pork. Tracing back to the recipe of meat floss in ancient civilizations, meat floss is inspired by the tenderness of shredded meats via stewing or roasting meat into fine and fluffy strands back in the day. They did this in the past to extend the shelf life of the meat because the refrigerator was not invented yet. As the features of meat floss are naturally dried when fully cooked, it will prevent spoiled conditions even when not refrigerated.

After many years have passed by, the meat floss that exists in various varieties and flavors nowadays spread to many Asian regions, including Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand. Each country alters the ingredients and cooking techniques to suit the local's palate. For example, meat floss is commonly used as a pastry filling: bread and sandwiches. In another country like Taiwan, meat floss is often used in congee—Chinese rice porridge—and steamed buns. Due to the rapid development of technology, meat floss has many flavors and variations to be incorporated into many fusion dishes and snacks.

One of the many variations of meat floss is the vegetarian meat floss produced by Ahimsa Group (sometimes called Ahimsa Vegetarian Wheat because it is made from a wheat source). The modern facility uses a machine to process the vegetarian meat floss, such as shredding it into fine strands for an efficient and consistent outcome. Due to the company's objective to strive for a plant-based food item, vegan meat floss is made of halal ingredients like soy protein, wheat, and mushroom for a delectable and crispy wheat floss.
