Plant-based diets have taken the world by storm, and with good reason. Not only are they better for the planet, but they’re also kinder to our bodies. Among the many plant-based delights capturing attention are sausages. These meat-free wonders are proving to be more than just a fad. So, if you’re after flavourful, healthier alternatives, you’re in luck. Let’s explore some top brands making waves in the world of plant-based sausages.
Sgaia Foods is a Scottish company founded by two Italian foodies. Made with seitan (wheat-meat) this is complicated to make yourself, but looks and tastes like the real thing.
If your council does not collect plastic packaging, recycle at supermarket bag bins. Avoid sausages for small children and swallowing difficulties (for older children, slice lengthwise and then lengthwise again). Read up on keeping people & pets safe in the kitchen (many vegan meats are unsafe near animal friends due to onion, garlic, spices etc)
Although it’s good to eat ‘natural foods’ (like lentils), most people like the taste of meat. But in a country of 60 million people, there is not enough land for everyone to eat free-range. So if you don’t want factory farms, it’s necessary for everyone to eat plant-based for at least of the time. Also read why pigs need our help more than ever.

Make Your Own Vegan Sausage Rolls
To avoid palm oil, just wrap vegan sausages in homemade pastry (simple to make, and you can freeze leftovers – keep fresh dough away from children and pets). Try these vegan sausage rolls with sage & red onion. Or to buy ready-made, The No Meat Company makes them (no palm oil in cardboard trays), sold in Iceland, the Food Warehouse and Ocado.
