Good Lifestyle

TheMeat substitution area continued to grow in recent years and probably the largest category of space is herbal burgers. In comparison with thevegetarian burgers Already sold in stores, herbal burgers do their best to imitate the appearance, feel, texture and taste of meat. Rather than living in the breastfeeding of frozen foods, these false hamburgers can be found in the section of the charcuterie or even side by side with chopped beef in the meat section.

A category that started with only two main players-Impossible foods and beyond meat-The now expanded to a dozen brands entering the action of vegan meat. One of these brands is the LightLife, a company producing meat substitutes for more than 40 years. Other herbal burgers includeDr. Praaeger's Perfect Burger,Great burger of the soft earth,Ultimate burger of Gardin,Before the undecided hamburger of the butcher,Burgers without meat without meatAnd the list goes ... Another less likely player is the Joe merchant. (When Joe merchant begins to make his own private brand version of a food, you know it's popular.)

So, how do all these herbal burgers pile up? We put them on the test to see how they did.Here's how four different herbal cakes are stacked against each other, classified from the worst.

I was not too impressed by theLIGHTLIFE option. The flavor definitively lacked compared to the other three hamburgers. As Joe's Patty's merchant, he does not perish too much and that it remains more true in raw red color instead of turning brown. Despite cooking thoroughly, the internal texture was on the side stronger and less juicy than other choices.

Although the Burger of the Joe trader has brunk a little on each side, the cakes did not get the distinctive "crust" that you could wait to cook real meat or even some herbal alternatives. The color remains relatively pink throughout the cooking process and you can even spot some beet stains when you enjoy the hamburger.

The pea protein is what packs 18 grams of protein in each galette, while a mixture of sunflower oil and seasonings "beef" of the flavor. The taste is great, but not necessarily as nuanced or "Costaud" also beyond or impossible. This is definitely a very expensive and inexpensive alternative to other meat substitutes that can be more prompting or more difficult to access.

Like TJ protein cakes,Beyond hamburgers are made with a pea protein, although the cooking process and the texture are very different. The company recently reformulated their product, which is now "vitaliate" and made with a mixture of peas, munic beans and rice to better imitate the chew of real beef. Also like the trader Joe's cakes, the flavor is close (if not closer) with true beef, but the texture is what moves it away. You will get a very realistic character on your hamburger, that you choose to pull the grill or attach yourself to your stove for cooking, making resemblance to almost strange meat.

The grocery chain option has beet spots throughout hamburgers, although they do not do much to add to the texture. In the Bey Burger option, you will notice white spots made with coconut oil and cocoa butter that create a "marbled" effect, similar to a real juicy hamburger.

Another popular plant-based burger option is theBurger, that recently recently has become available for purchase in stores after only being in restaurants for some time in the past. As Joe merchant's cakes, impossible meat uses sunflower oil, but coconut oil - also used beyond hamburgers - really takes it on the edge to make a juicy and fleshy hamburger.

The cooking process and the texture are almostidentical to the burger beyondand that of real meat, too. You will see white spots visible in the red "meat" to pack an even more tasty punch, but unlike other options available, it uses soy protein, so beware if you have an allergy.

Whatever the herbal option you go, there are many alternative burgers to choose from. And although it is difficult to keep the standards set beyond and impossible, TJ is a great option.
