Which is better: The Impossible Burger or Beyond Burger? Or is there a dark horse in this race?
We did our best to purchase as many nonmeat burgers as possible, from both online grocery services like FreshDirect and stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, as well as from a number of supermarkets in New York City. While we weren't able to test every single meat-burger alternative out there, we did manage to include most prominent, nationally available brands.
All the burgers were cooked according to the instructions for the preferred cooking method on the packaging. With the Impossible"meat," we had more options: It can be cooked to varying doneness levels, according to personal preference, and can be made into aor a regular patty.
Each taste-test round included at least eight tasters; in this specific taste test, 10 tasters participated. Here's what they had to say.The Impossible burger, which is vegan, outperformed every other contender in every category and in both rounds; the competition wasn't even close.
A taster who called it a"damn near perfect veggie burger" said of its flavor,"Little dry and almost seafood-y at first, but then slides into tasting like a burger." In that vein, another taster remarked,"tastes vaguely like liver, it has a mineral flavor." Several tasters were impressed with the Beyond's texture."Actually has some substance. Not meat-like but meaty," one wrote. Three tasters commented approvingly on the"crispy" exterior, but opinions were mixed on the patty's interior.
