Ok. So just looking at the words “beyond meat” tells me it’s not really meat. So what is it? I saw some items in my Whole Foods App on sale under the label “Beyond Meat” this past week and curiosity got the better of me. I haven’t actually been to the store to check out what it is but found some info online.
Here is what the Victor crew found out:
The products are 100% plant-based protein from pea and soy.
It is also made without trans fats, cholesterol, gluten, dairy, or GMOs.
They form it in such a way it is supposed to have the texture and taste of meat.
It can be prepared the same as you would chicken or ground beef.
Some of the other ingredients include amaranth, soy and pea protein, soy and carrot fiber, canola oil.
Their products include The Beyond Burger, Beyond Sausage comes in Brat, Hot Italian, and Sweet Italian. They also make Beyond Chicken strips in Southwest Style, Grilled, or Lightly Seasoned. Lastly, they have Beyond Beef Crumble in Feisty or Beefy flavors to use in tacos, salads, “meat sauce” or wherever you want ground crumbles.
