“无蛋”鸡蛋成快餐的主要卖点

Fast food is taking a crack at faux eggs as more restaurants invest in plant-based proteins as an alternative to animal products.

随着越来越多的餐馆投资于植物蛋白作为动物产品的替代品，快餐业正在攻克人造鸡蛋。

Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons is testing menu items using Just Egg, a plant-based scrambled egg alternative made from mung bean protein, canola oil, onion puree and turmeric to mimic the look, taste and texture of real eggs. It’s the latest effort a fast-food restaurant has made to cater to consumers’ cravings for non-animal proteins like plant-based burgers.

加拿大咖啡连锁店蒂姆·霍顿斯(Tim Hortons)正在试用“纯鸡蛋”菜单，这是一种以植物为基础的炒鸡蛋替代品，由绿豆蛋白、菜籽油、洋葱泥和姜黄制成，模仿真实鸡蛋的外观、味道和质地。这是一家快餐店为满足消费者对非动物性蛋白质如植物性汉堡的需求而做出的最新努力。

Select Tim Hortons locations are subbing out chicken eggs and replacing them with the plant-based Just Egg on their breakfast sandwiches.

蒂姆·霍顿也同样选择将鸡蛋替换成植物性的鸡蛋作为早餐三明治。

Three tablespoons of Just Egg is equivalent to one chicken egg and provides five grams of plant-based protein. To compare, one whole egg has around 6 grams of protein. The Tim Hortons test run comes on the heels of the chain debuting breakfast sandwiches made with Beyond Meat.

三大汤匙的人造鸡蛋相当于一个鸡蛋，含有5克植物蛋白。相比之下，一个完整的鸡蛋含有大约6克的蛋白质。蒂姆·霍顿(TimHortons)的试运行紧随其后，推出了用非肉类制作的早餐三明治。

“As we continue to test and get feedback, we will consider expanding plant-based options into other menu items,” a spokeswoman for Tim Hortons told MarketWatch in an email.

蒂姆·霍顿斯的一位女发言人在邮件中告诉记者:“随着我们继续测试并得到反馈，我们将考虑将植物性的选择扩展到其他菜单项。”

Grocery store sales of plant-based foods that mimic animal products have grown 31 percent in the past two years to reach $4.5 billion annually, according to new data from The Good Food Institute. And dollar sales of plant-based foods grew 11 percent in the past year and 31 percent over the past two years.

根据美国优质食品研究所(Good Food Institute)的最新数据，在过去两年中，模仿动物产品的植物性食品在杂货店的销售额增长了31%，达到每年45亿美元。植物性食品的美元销售额在过去一年增长了11%，在过去两年增长了31%。

In contrast, total US retail food dollar sales rose just 2 percent over the past year and 4 percent in the past two years.

相比之下，过去一年美国食品零售总额仅增长2%，过去两年增长4%。
