The lesson: skip the organic label and the brand name and you often pay a quarter as much for the same basic ingredient. Tofu delivers roughly 8 to 15 g of protein per 100 g depending on the type, which keeps it competitive on protein price too.

If you truly chase the franc price per gram of protein, legumes win hands down. Dried lentils provide about 27 g of protein per 100 g and cost, as an own brand, often under CHF 0.30 per 100 g, making them far cheaper per gram of protein than any ready-made burger. K-Tipp also warned that pricey lentil or pea pasta is barely better nutritionally but clearly more expensive than ordinary pasta. The rule of thumb: tofu and legumes are the cheap base, ready patties and fillets are what you pay for convenience.
The market keeps growing all the same. Hard, current sales figures for the Swiss meat-alternative market are difficult to come by, though: the most recent published market report on meat substitutes on agrarmarktdaten.ch dates from May 2021. We therefore quote no turnover figure here until a dated source is available. As of September 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tofu cost per 100 g in Switzerland?
According to the SRF Kassensturz test, plain tofu ranges from about CHF 0.44 to CHF 2.46 per 100 g. Cheap own brands like Prix Garantie (approx. CHF 0.52) and Denner (approx. CHF 0.58) sit at the low end, organic brands like Karma or Manor Bio at the high end.
Is meat substitute more expensive than meat?
It depends on the category. The Swissveg comparison 2025 shows plant-based mince is cheaper at all four tested retailers and plant burgers cheaper at three of four. Cold-cut alternatives are often clearly dearer, and across the full basket the premium was about +50 percent at Coop and Aldi but only +2 percent at Lidl.
Which plant protein is cheapest?
Per gram of protein, dried legumes win easily. Lentils provide about 27 g of protein per 100 g and, as an own brand, often cost under CHF 0.30 per 100 g, many times cheaper than any ready-made veggie burger.
Is pricier organic tofu worth it on taste?
Not automatically. In the Kassensturz test the Swiss-made Engel Tofu nature from the mid price tier won, while the most expensive product (Manor Bio, CHF 2.25/100 g) did not top the ranking. Cheap and good are not mutually exclusive.
What does a vegan burger like V-Love or Garden Gourmet cost?
A Migros V-Love burger costs about CHF 5.95, the Garden Gourmet Sensational Burger about CHF 6.95 for 226 g (around CHF 3.08 per 100 g). The Green Mountain sits around CHF 3 to 3.50 per 100 g. Offers can change this weekly, so a price comparison in Rappn pays off.
