I think the Gardein Ultimate Beefless Burger is pretty good.
It's the package with a red top.
I like Gardein! I like their "beefless burger" (red top)more than their black bean one... I buy Gardein more than Beyond Meat products because it's available at more places. This may be changing though, thanks to Tyson - meaning BM will be just as available as G.

The Beyond Burger that has only been released to Colorado, and recently in a few other states, will be available at the end of November at all Veggie Grill locations for anyone on the West Coast.

I hope someone posts a review on it before me...I would lol.

Tyson CEO says the future of protein may be meatless

quote:

... protein consumption is growing around the world-and it continues to grow. It's not just hot in the US; it's hot everywhere, people want protein, so whether it's animal-based protein or plant-based protein, they have an appetite for it. Plant-based protein is growing almost, at this point, a little faster than animal-based, so I think the migration may continue in that direction."

quote:

In October 2016, the company bought a 5% stake in Beyond Meat, a Silicon Valley startup that makes plant-based beef and chicken primarily from pea protein (no real meat is involved)

quote:

December 2016, Hayes took over, and the company launched a venture capital fund worth $150 million that invests in startups developing meat alternatives.

quote:

The company faced some controversy in 2016 and early 2017 over allegations of price fixing and chicken abuse, but Hayes said it is committed to contributing to a sustainable food system



As stated before, I definitely think this is a good move for Tyson
