      The burger contains a assortment of mixture of fruits, vegetables, and minerals in it. If you worked at a Tim Hortons and serves it you have access to the ingredients list.

      These burgers, the unformed version, patties and sausages are amazing, the second release of the patties is great., I was thrilled about the first version but the second is just awesome. We used to be meat eaters until we were 50 and 55. We completely stopped eating meat all ant once after one of us had an illness. We never cheated but always missed two things. One was a juicy burger, the other was Italian sausage. This company has solved both issues for us! Never were big steak eaters. We love breakfast sausage too but Morningstar patties are great for that so we are feeling like our bases are covered. Now if they can reproduce bacon, that would be icing on the cake LOL! We still eat regular veggie burgers too but this product has really allowed us to enjoy the ground meats we loved. The ground Beyond Meat that is not pre-formed is just as good and great for many recipes ground beef is used for like tacos, Shepherds Pie, burritos, nachos, spaghetti, meatballs. The list of uses for the unformed product is very long. Thank you For Beyond Meat. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    you should buy a box of Beyond Burgers, 10 lbs for $80 ($2 a burger), cook them up, cut them up into 1/8th (25 cents per portion) and walk around asking meat eaters to do a taste test
    and then after you have their attention ask the question: Should we eat animals if we can get all our amino acids from these delicious Beyond Burgers?
    and when they argue that they have twice as much salt as meat
    remind them that they have less sodium than the Ketchup they put on their burger
    you have to eat ten Beyond Burgers in a day to exceed your RDA of sodium
    Potassium balances Sodium intake so the more plants that have Potassium, the more of your Sodium budget you can afford to eat

      We meat eaters know this already. We don't go around thinking burgers grow on trees or even care about sodium content or that animals die in order to feed us. We wouldn't be eating meat if we did.
      Eating meat isn't about ignorance. Vegetarians and vegans aren't more enlightened. We know what's in our burgers and we don't care about animals being farmed and killed for food because it's delicious. It's really that simple.
      And no, I wouldn't eat the Beyond Burger even if it tasted exactly like real meat because my meat is cheap and my wallet being empty hurts me more than cows being butchered.

I didn't tell them before I gave them the burgers, they said the burgers tasted great, and then I told them it was actually beyond meat. Great reactions all around haha and now we'll have it about once every week or two as a substitute for burger patties.

I'd be interested to know the carbon footprint of the Beyond Burger though. Other than that I'd gladly replace my beef burger with the Beyond Burger, just not my steak yet

    I tried one tonight. I have an average mostly healthy American diet. I eat a cheeseburger two or three times a month. Beyond Burger tasted BETTER than a ~75% lean beef burger. I think salt plays a large role in bringing out the flavors of the “beef”. It tastes great, it was juicy, and the bite was excellent. The meat feels a little pillowy, but it kinda works.

    Edited: This would be an excellent choice for those new to plant based diets. As a 47 year vegetarian I had my first Beyond Meat burger today. It was very chewy. I almost gagged on the smell of the uncooked burger because it reminded me of the smell of meat (in my very vague memories - I'm 70 now). Perhaps from eating other vegemeats for so long, I tend to prefer them. I don't want my protein "meat" to closely resemble and taste like meat. Though if I had it 47 years ago, I would probably have accepted it and still be eating it. I like Morningstar grillers, sausage, vegebacon, chick patties, Trader Joe's chorizo, as well as Worthington/Loma Linda vege chicken. (I make vege chicken pies from the Worthington/Loma Linda Fry Chic.) My husband and I only eat vegemeats a couple of times a week.

I might try it again in the future when they make a beyond meat burger 5.0 or above but till then i'm going to stick with beef because for right now nothing can replace that amazing, mouthwatering, delicious, sexy smelling, texture having beef burgers that I love so damn much. Also just a head's up if anyone decided's to do what I did keep your expectations low otherwise the feeling of regret will be in every bite you take.

IMHO these things taste terrible there expensive 2 for 6.50 at whole foods and look at the list of ingredients its twice as long as impossible burgers
    The Beyond Burger: pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, water, yeast extract, maltodextrin, natural flavors, gum arabic, sunflower oil, salt, succinic acid, acetic acid, non-GMO modified food starch, cellulose from bamboo, methylcellulose, potato starch, beet juice extract (for color), ascorbic acid (to maintain color), annatto extract (for color), citrus fruit extract (to maintain quality), vegetable glycerin.
