Around ten years ago, going vegan was nothing short of a nightmare for meat lovers. The fear of not being able to enjoy a hearty burger often kept people away from veganism. However, adapting to a plant-based diet is no longer as challenging with amazing plant-based meat substitutes brought by Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods.
What many deemed impossible just a few years ago, Beyond Meat and Impossible Meat, have now accomplished. The two companies both offer meat substitutes that are strikingly similar in taste, texture, and appearance to cow meat. The two companies currently lead the vegan meat substitute market with impossible foods being the creators of the infamous impossible whopper at Burger King.
While both meat substitutes are currently ruling the market, there is much debate about which one is better. In this article, we compare the two to help you conclude.
