Just Egg started with a simple question: Could they make really delicious eggs from plants? Throughout nine years of research and development, they discovered that the answer was yes. And in the process, they made eggs that are better for the planet, too. They searched thousands of samples, representing hundreds of species of plants, and their team ultimately found one in an unlikely place that magically scrambles like an egg—a 4,400-year-old legume called the mung bean.

Cultures across the globe have cooked with mung beans for millennia. This very old bean, it turns out, makes very good eggs. The mung bean is also one of the most sustainable plants on earth, using significantly fewer resources to grow and cultivate than do chicken eggs. So that’s a really nice bonus, too.
