The mix is measured by uncooked volume and cooked separately before fermentation. The claim is being debated in food discussions, with one caveat noting that the article cited qualifies the comparison as applying only to commonly available products.

Why now: Debate over whole-food versus processed plant proteins is a recurring topic of interest among people cooking meat alternatives at home.
