Plant-based meats offer more absorbable protein than chicken: study

Lab tests by CSIR-IHBT Palampur and the Good Food Institute India found five plant-based products delivered more absorbable protein than chicken versions. Plant-based seekh kebabs scored 80.8% and 86.1% bioavailability versus 38.8% for chicken, while patties scored about 57-58% against 21.2%. Researchers cautioned this shows nutritional comparability, not that plant-based meat is healthier.
