Impossible Foods has announced the new Impossible Steak Bites as a plant-based meat product perfect for consumers to incorporate into their favorite recipes. The product was created by the brand using proprietary research and boasts a taste and texture that closely mimics chunks of real steak, but with a decidedly animal-free formulation. The product has 21-grams of protein per serving along with no cholesterol, seven-grams of fat and 80% less saturated fat than animal flank steak.
President and CEO of Impossible Foods Peter McGuinness spoke on the Impossible Steak Bites saying, "Our steak bites are first and foremost delicious. They’re also packed with protein, no cholesterol, and less saturated fat versus the animal. You’re not going to find a better plant-based steak option than that.”
