The Beyond Burger is designed to closely mimic a traditional beef burger, using pea protein as its base. It earns points for being soy- and gluten-free, making it accessible for those with common dietary restrictions. It’s high in protein and iron, cholesterol-free, and a practical stand-in for beef—but the flavor leans processed, and the saturated fat and sodium levels call for moderation. Great when convenience and comfort food cravings collide, but not the kind of plant-based staple you’ll want every day.
