<p>A Slovenia-based vegan food company is very close to realising the idea of manufacturing edible vegan bones. The company, named Juicy Marbles, initially wanted to produce bones that are compostable. However, later they realised they could produce bones that could be directly consumed.</p>

<p>The company has announced the first products will be available as early as late August in the UK, EU and US. The price of the product is not finalised yet and the company is open to customer feedback before it overhauls the product’s recipe, name and packaging.</p>

<p>Plant-based meat companies have focused on innovation even as the high cost of living crisis drives their business to the ground.</p>

<p>Vladimir Mićković, co-founder of Juicy Marbles, said the idea of producing bones from plants was “just fun.” He said, “To some, bones from plants may be an ideological provocation, but we shouldn’t take these things too seriously.”</p>

<p>“There is a culture of celebration, sharing, and belonging around meat [and] anyone cutting down on meat can feel excluded from cultural traditions,” he added.</p>

<h2><strong>How will bones be consumed?</strong></h2>

<p>The company says the plant-based bones will need to be baked or fried before consumption. Baking will turn the bones into a crispy snack.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We started off just by not wanting the bones to be garbage,” Mićković said.&nbsp;</p>
