What's 'plant-based' food?

Plant-based food refers to products made primarily from plants, often designed to mimic meat or dairy. The sale of Hilton's plant-food division, Dalco, highlights the growing but competitive market for these alternatives. While Hilton is stepping back, the overall global trend towards plant-based eating continues to expand consumer choices worldwide.
