A new kind of shop has opened in the Netherlands. It’s called De Vegetarische Slager (A Vegetarian Butcher) – a bit of an oxymoron, no?
The store hosts a wide range of meat-substitutes and their very own line of lupin-based commodities. Lupin is a protein-rich seed that has traditionally been used to feed livestock. The Vegetarian Butcher is on a mission to get Lupin back into peoples’ diets.
Going easy on the meat just got a lot easier!
