Impossible Burger

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Impossible Burger gets five out of five stars. You can buy frozen patties at the grocery store or you can find them served at some restaurants. I thawed and cooked the patty on the stove. In the past, I have broken up the patty while I cooked it and used it as ground beef for chili. I ate the burger with mayonnaise.

The Impossible Burger does look like and has similar texture to beef. The patty cooks like real beef and chars on the outside when cooked. The patty’s main ingredient is soy protein and coconut and sunflower oil. The nice thing about burgers that are made of soy that are made to look as much as meat as possible is you can rub the outside of the patty with spices that are taken up into the meat when cooked. The burger has a charred taste and tastes like a normal burger especially if you add toppings and spice. To make up for lack of meat many of the consumers diets, the patty contains added B vitamins including B12. I found it interesting that the burger did not contain beets because many of the plant-based burgers that try to mimic meat contain beet juice to make the “meat” seem like it’s bleeding. Each burger patty is 240 calories, 19g of protein, and 8g of saturated fat. The Impossible Burger is one of the priciest meat alternate brands on the market. At Target, you can get six patties for $15. If you enjoy this burger, Impossible also makes meatballs and ground. Overall, this burger would be a great way to show meat-eating friends and family that you don’t have to give up good taste and texture in a plant-based diet.
