Beyond Burger: that's the healthy alternative
The Beyond Burger is a healthy and meatless alternative to conventional beef burgers. You can find out what distinguishes it and what ingredients are contained in our practical tip.
Beyond Burger is really that healthy
The Beyond Burger consists of vegetable proteins and contains no meat. However, both the consistency of the patty and the taste come very close to beef. The fact that the burger does not contain any meat not only makes it more environmentally friendly, it also appeals to people who want to do without meat for ethical reasons. But is the burger also healthy when it comes to nutritional values and ingredients?
- The Beyond Burger is made from pea proteins. According to the manufacturer Beyond Meat, these enable taste and consistency to come so close to beef.
- Rapeseed oil, refined coconut oil and various flavors are also included.
- The patty contains 250 calories on 227 grams with 18 grams of fat, 20 grams of protein and 3 grams of carbohydrates.
- In comparison, a beef patty of the same weight has around 192 calories with 12 grams of fat, 20 grams of protein and 0 carbohydrates.
- So the nutritional values are pretty similar, so a Beyond Burger is not healthier, but at least on a par with the meat variant.
- The advantage is that no animal has to be kept and killed for the Beyond Burger. Even if you include the transportation route of the vegan patty from the USA, the product is still more environmentally friendly.
- You can find the Beyond Burger in various supermarkets such as Aldi and Netto, but also in online shops at various providers.
