Plant-based meat offers more absorbable protein than chicken: study

A CSIR-IHBT Palampur and GFI India study found five cooked plant-based products had higher protein bioavailability than chicken equivalents in lab-simulated digestion. Plant kebabs scored 80.8% and 86.1% against 38.8% for chicken, a nugget 61.2% against 43.4%, and patties about 57–58% against 21.2%. Researchers said this shows nutritional comparability, not that plant meat is healthier.
