Meat alternatives are rising exponentially in popularity as consumers shift towards vegetarian or even vegan lifestyles, which is being supported by innovation like the new Impossible Burger recipe.
The new recipe is reported to have less sodium, fat and calories than the original, and is capable of being used in almost any recipe you can think of that calls for ground beef. The tasty meat alternative is like in the original recipe in that it starts out pink and browns when cooked to make it a winner with those craving beef but looking to avoid it.
