Plant-based burgers Impossible and Beyond get an upgrade and more recognition

There are plenty of new gadgets coming to market, from 8K televisions or Alexa-equipped toilets. But publisher Digital Trend’s pick for top tech winner at this month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas wasn’t a gadget at all. It was the Impossible Burger 2.0.

About 45 years ago, fake meat was made by growing some type of mushroom. It looked like beef, it tasted like beef, but it was mushroom.

Now the kicker...It was made to taste like beef because it was grown in sawdust mixed with beef blood.

Reminds me of the old Si-Fi story, THE ULTIMATE CATALYST in which a jungle scientist, in a vegetarian world, invents ...”GREENBEEFOS”, vegetables that taste like beef. There was just one little problem....

Not just that it is kosher, the issue is that it is not meat, thus can be eaten with dairy.

Impossible foods has also been cleared by Islam as halal.

It can be eaten by people all over the world. It is also a hit in Asia where limited red meat is the goal.

Impossible foods has the meat molecule (hemmi) and it cooks and creates the juice that triggers our meat taste.

they are good, and their price will come down when production increases. They are manufactured by yeast cells creating the meat like molecule and other vegetable items making the bulk (nuts Etc. )

BTW, the research people at Imp Foods have upgraded their product and it is said to be even better.

It is true that the meat like part is grown using programmed yeast cells. But the taste is very close to a match with true meat. I agree it should not be called (meat) but it is hard not to call it a burger, because that is how it is served most of the time. Most of the product is vegetable based except for this flavor item (makes it bleed and cook like red meat).

The key point is that it will overtake meat products in cost and lots of people want to cut back on meat or go veggie. That is their choice and Imp Foods at least preserves the taste they have grown to like.

I have tried it, it is good, I eat true meat most of the time but I have cut back and now eat a lot of fish. It is for health reasons, but Imp Foods is good news.

Impossible foods has also been cleared by Islam as halal.

Another reason I'll stay away from it.

Your choice, but there is a large market for this cleared food.

Imp Foods is already international, they may end up doing more business outside the US than inside.

I’m Jewish but I do not follow the dietary stuff, so I am not that orthodox. We may share many beliefs about Islam however. But not where food is concerned.
