The present disclosure provides an equol-containing food composition and a method for producing the same.

Provided are a plant-based fibrous base material in which any unpleasant odor is suppressed, and a product containing a replica meat obtained by processing said base material. The plant-based textured base material contains a plant-protein-containing fibrous structure, linoleic acid and linolenic acid in an amount of no more than 25 mg/dry weight base material (g) in total, phospholipids in an amount of at least 0.5 mg/dry weight base material (g), and protein in an amount of no more than 540 mg/base material dry weight (g). The base material preferably has stress in an amount of at least 0.710.sup.5 Pa.
