What Is Vegan Bacon?

Vegan bacon contains no animal ingredients. Instead, these plant-based protein sources boast ingredients like tempeh, seitan, soy, wheat, and beyond. They also come loaded with spices and sweeteners like molasses, maple syrup, paprika, and natural smoke flavoring. We can’t think of a better pairing for your vegan eggs and biscuits!
