The Impossible™ Burger is engineered to mimic the flavor, juiciness, and overall experience of beef using soy protein, plant-based oils, and fermentation-derived heme. It doesn’t just imitate meat—it captures the full burger experience, from the satisfying sizzle to the rich, savory bite. Unlike beef, it contains no cholesterol and dramatically reduces animal harm, while still delivering a solid dose of protein and iron. However, it is still a processed food with significant sodium and fat, making it better suited for occasional indulgence than daily fare. Its moderate potassium and fiber content provide some balance, potentially offsetting the effects of sodium and saturated fat. Enjoy it when the craving hits—but for everyday nourishment, whole, minimally processed plant foods are the better choice.
