Yo Egg is introducing what it claims is the world’s first plant-based whole poached egg.

The innovation – which is made using chickpea, soy and other non-GMO ingredients – is being launched at restaurants across Los Angeles amid a nationwide egg shortage.

Yo Egg, unlike “any other” egg alternative on the market, features a runny yolk.

Most plant-based egg products come in liquid formats that can be scrambled or used to make dishes such as omelettes. However, more than 80% of eggs in the US are consumed in whole form – for example fried or poached – according to Yo Egg.

The brand, which plans to introduce additional formats in the near future, says that it delivers on both flavour and functionality, with its plant-based poached egg tasting “just like” its animal counterpart.
