An Amazing Alternative

Besides being the answer to making eggs without chickens, the miraculous mung bean offers even more. Mung beans are among one of the most sustainable plants around, using substantially less resources than eggs produced on a chicken farm.

As a bonus, the mung bean allowed JUST Egg to create a plant-based alternative that looks, cooks and tastes like traditional eggs but has less saturated fat than a chicken egg, contains about the same amount of protein, and absolutely no cholesterol.

Whether you’ve just taken the first steps into your plant-based journey or been a champion of the vegan revolution for decades, adding plant-based vegan eggs to your repertoire opens the door to a new world of culinary creations.
