Meat-based burgers have been based on meat for years, but until recently, meat eaters have rejected them as non-convincing vegan cakes. That everything has changed this last year. Enter, the Burger wars bleeding:Burger impossible vs. Beyond meat. You have probably read in the titles of the major reformulations of the plant protein brands to make their alternative to meat the hamburgers reach a juicy texture and a taste that is uniformly similar to a real beef. And with fast food chains like Burger King, buying with theImpossible whopper andDunkin with theBeyond the sandwich at breakfast sausage, the alternative beef is booming.

And this false trend of meat is not simply limited to fast-service restaurants, you can also try these innovative recipes at home.Beyond meat, which has existed since 2009, sells their burger beyond in grocery stores across the country. In addition, the brand has recently launched their latest product: beyond beef, their beef into herbal ground.

As a meat eater, I was curious to try beyond the beef and see how it compares to the chopped beef based on animals in taste, texture and preparation. So, I decided to welcome aTaco Night with four friends. Here's how it happened.

What is beyond beef?

Beyond meat is advertisingBeyond beef As "the first meat in the world based on the plants to be transmitted to the versatility, the fleshy texture and the juicity of the chopped beef." Its main base is pea protein, as well as rice protein and munguin bean protein. Here is the fullBeyond the list of beef ingredients:

Water, pea protein isolate, pressed canola oil, reconditioned coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, cocoa butter, mung nut protein, methylcellulose, L 'Potato starch, apple extract, salt, potassium chloride, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, sun lecithin, pomegranate fruit powder, beet juice extract (for the colour).

Beyond meat intentionally and precisely chooses each ingredient in their reasons to match various functions of chopped beef. Canola oil, coconut oil and cocoa butter mimic fat. Bean and rice proteins serve as a basis for beef. And the beet juice turns a whole carnal red while the apple extract helps the plants' ground to turn brown as it is cooked to reproduce the same browning process you know in the beef.

How is it cooked?

As someone who makes tacos at least once a week, I was super excited for this comparison. I searched two books of chopped beef 90/10 (shown on the left side of the photo) alongside two beef books beyond (right).

Taking all right of the packaging, I thought it was cool how they added white pieces to mimic fat in the real chopped beef. It was similar-ish of color to beans Pinto, but as he cooked, he had more color.

Honestly, I have been honestly surprised in how the texture of beef beyond was of the real beef on the ground that I prepared. As it is cooked, it has become firmer and has also formed in pieces and collapses like typical chopped beef.

I was initially preoccupied not to be able to say when the beef beyond was cooking, but like real stuff, he also started browning the color.

The smell was definitely different. It did not feel the chopped beef. It's hard to fully put a finger on it, but I think it was missing that the iron - smell of real wafts of meat when cooking. This had a smell of bean that was not so soothing as the familiar meat, but I was impressed by the way it seemed like texture to the texture.

The final result was a little thicker than the chopped beef pot. It looked like a little more in Chile, in texture and color (a little more red). And when I added theTaco seasoning packets, I definitely use more water in the beef pot beyond that in theTaco recipe of chopped beef. Beef beyond also cooked a little faster than the chopped beef.

How does it taste?

Texture-wise, they are super difficult to discern each other. It's crazy that beyond the beef could do that! It might have been slightly more fostering, but they were also able to do it as a spring like true chopped beef and include bits a little more difficult, just like real stuff.

Flavor-wise, with Taco spices, he honestly tasted exactly the same. We added skipped onions, peppers, guacks and our coriander to our tacos, and when they are fully assembled, they seemed identical.

We did not tell one of our friends that we were preparing beyond beef before finishing two tacos. When we told him he just eaten the meatless version, he had no idea that it was not a real beef. (And when he returned for a few seconds, he chose beyond the beef on the chopped beef.)

What are the nutritional information of BEEF?

Beyond the beef can be designed to imitate the taste of chopped beef, even if it is fully based on planting, but it has a healthier nutritional profile. A 4 ounce portion ofBeyond beef has the following nutritional events:

• Calories: 160
• Fat: 18 g (6 g saturated)
• Sodium: 390 mg
• Crab: 3 g
• Fiber: 2 g
• Sugar: 0 g
• Protein: 20 g

Compare them to nutrition information of 80/20 Bez Beef for a 4 ounce server:

• Calories: 280
• Fat: 22.5 g (8.5 g saturated)
• Sodium: 75 mg
• Crab: 0 g
• Fiber: 0 g
• Sugar: 0 g
• Protein: 19 g

Beyond the beef is lower in calories, greases and saturated fats compared to 80/20 chopped beef. It also has an additional gram of protein. Be aware that plant-based lands are already seasoned: it contains 390 milligrams of sodium by 4 ounce service, while the chopped beef has only 75 milligrams: a difference in sodium equivalent to an eighth teaspoon of table salt.

If you prefer a lighter beef mix, as 90/10 of the chopped beef, it will usually execute 200 calories, 11 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 23 grams of protein. Beyond the beef is lower in calories than this lean mixture, but it is higher in total fat and saturated grease. So, if you are looking for a lower fat protein, you can be more inclined to stick with the lighter chopped beef mix.

Final verdict

We all really liked it. However, I tend to love a leanerish beef and beyon beef was a little higher in fat. According to beyond beef, it has 25% less saturated fat than typical 80/20 chopped beef, but I still like using less skinny meat than that one. This is my only complaint.

While I probably do not give totally the chopped beef beyond the beef beyond, especially for the tacos, I whip it absolutely. I do not know if the flavor would also be on the spot if we were not tacos, but I will try with anotherChopped beef recipe. If you want to try it, you can find beyond beef using thefind a store on the website beyond meat.
