I heard about Beyond Meat about a year or so ago, and thought it was really interesting that they were producing a plant based burger with no soy, that was like a real hamburger. I really like the idea of it, but because Hawaii is slow to get new products, this wasn't available here until recently.
Last week I saw an ad for Beyond Meat, so I checked out their website and found that they are selling it at our local Safeway. I bought a couple to try.
They do look like real meat, but have a slightly odd smell.
I grilled them over kiawe charcoal. I didn't realize that they would burn so quickly, but as there was not much fat dripping to the coals, there weren't really many flare ups.
I wish they were a little seasoned, but I had to add some salt at the end. Next time I'll season them before I grill them. They did take the charcoal flavor well though - they ended up nice and smokey.
With a bun and veggies and condiments, you could still tell that this was not a real hamburger. It reminded me of Morningstar Farms products. It was still good though. I'm not sure if it was worth $3.50 for one burger though.
