Eggs have been a mainstay in people’s meals all around the world for ages.
However, as people become more aware of the environmental, ethical, and health ramifications of egg production and consumption, they are increasingly opting for plant-based alternatives.
Many people ask why vegans don’t eat eggs as the public attempts to be more aware in their consumption.

- Egg Substitutes: Scramblit
Scramblit is a vegan superfood egg mix made by Spero Foods that may be used to produce quiches, omelettes, and scrambled eggs, as the name suggests. Scramblit is produced from pepita, which are edible seeds from squash or pumpkin that have 400 times the fiber, 20 times the antioxidants, and double the omega-3s of eggs per gram. It also has three times the amount of protein, eight times the amount of iron, and seven times the amount of zinc.
- Egg Substitutes: The Vegg
Vegan egg substitutes are available from The Vegg in a variety of flavors. The Power Scramble, which contains soy protein isolate and algal protein, can be used to make fluffy scrambled eggs. Vegan hollandaise sauce and French toast can be made with the Vegan Egg Yolk instead of egg yolks. In addition, the Uncaged Baking Mix can be used in place of eggs in any baked good.
- Egg Substitutes: Chickpea Flour
Chickpea flour, sometimes known as gram flour, is a finely ground substance manufactured from dried chickpeas that can be used to make egg-free scrambles, omelets, and quiches. One cup has 21 grams of protein in it. This ingredient is available online, in Indian grocery stores, and in health food stores.
- Egg Substitutes: MyeY
MyEy, an Austrian business formed by a veteran patissier, caters to both professional and home cooks. It’s created with a combination of plant protein, spices, and mineral salts and is soy- and cholesterol-free. In terms of behavior, flavor, color, and flavor, it’s considered to behave similarly to regular eggs in baking. MyEy is available in three flavors for baking, homemade pasta, meringue, French toast, pastries, sauces, and savory egg dishes.
- Egg Substitutes: Restaurants (UK)
Plant-based eggs are available at a few restaurants in the United Kingdom for those who live there. Wagamama, a Japanese-inspired restaurant with a vegan hard-boiled egg made from creamy miso-infused coconut and Sriracha mayo, offers a “mindblowing” plant-powered meal in certain locations. Wagamama recently introduced plant-based breakfasts in its airport locations, using scrambled tofu instead of eggs.
Diners can get scrambled tofu eggs with plant-based bacon and sausages with best egg beater at By CHLOE., which has two locations in London. And London-based chef The Vegan Ronin just made her own plant-based version of yolky fried eggs; when broken, the yolk even runs like chicken egg yolks.
- Egg Substitutes: Restaurants (US)
Veggie Grill, a fast-casual dining restaurant based in the United States, has introduced its first all-day breakfast offering, The Breakfast Burrito, which includes JUST’s vegan egg. The JUST Egg is also available at Clover Food Lab in Massachusetts, where it is used to make a regional staple, the Pepper and Egg sandwich.
The JUST Egg was featured in a vegan sausage, cheese, and egg breakfast sandwich in Orlando, while Flore in the Castro District is serving an eggy mushroom spinach scramble prepared with JUST Egg.
