It was probably the Impossible burger, Beyond still has a weird taste to it. But with how far faux meat options have come over the past 20 years I'm not sure what it would be useful for, curious if the umami flavors would translate to soy protein isolate.
It certainly might have been. Is that the company that tested on animals? I remember reading that about either Impossible or Beyond, I forget which one. That while the "meat" they produce is entirely vegan from the point of view of the ingredients they did do animal testing during the initial stages of developing some of those ingredients.
Yeah they were required to do animal testing for the heme derived from yeast.
Thanks for the info! That is a shame though.
I've been vegan for many years and started before all of these new vegan products so I really don't know much about them. All these things weren't around and honestly I just realized that I really like making rice and beans, curry, soup. Simple and cheap!
Is there anything non-vegan about Beyond? Any reason for a vegan to stay away?
Not to my knowledge. I just like the flexibility using faux meat gives, I was really into making everything from scratch for a while but most of it usually takes hours. The Beyond ground beef has actually come a long way, it used to kind of smell like wet cat food when they first got going but they also make some bratwurst that are A+, they're just a little pricey so I don't get them very often.
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against using things like faux meat. I actually appreciate having that option available and it's why I asked about Beyond.
It certainly can. It's one of the reasons that I gravitate towards meals such as rice and beans, curries, and soups for my day to day. Especially in the case of curries and soups, I can make them in larger batches and then portion them out to span multiple meals over several days. I don't mind cooking and honestly enjoy it most of the time but I also don't want to spend all my free time cooking. Another awesome benefit to meal prepping like that is that you can save money while at the same time making sure that you are still jamming your meals full of nutritious veg.
Thanks for all the info! I will be taking a look at Beyond for when I nice faux meat.
