Known for making international headlines thanks to their Vegan Mayo, JUST’s eggs are made with a mung bean protein isolate which apparently contains the same amount of protein as a chicken egg but with zero cholesterol. It also requires 77% less water to produce than the traditional egg and emits 40% fewer greenhouse gases!
