as much as i appreciate a meatless burger, it's no-where near perfect. The saturated fat content is extremely high (15%) thanks to the coconut oil. And it's super high in sodium as well: 1240mg (about 70% of 1500). and half of it is still fat. They've still got some work to do before it can be considered healthy.
But, they say it tastes just as good as the real thing, which is quite an achievement.
Ingredients:
Potato protein, soy protein (soy leghemoglobin), coconut oil, yeast extract, cultured dextrose, methylcellulose, and food starch modified.
- apendleton 8y agoI think they're explicitly not interested in making it healthy as compared to a beef burger. They're looking to appeal to exactly the same people that would want a regular burger, and deliver as near an identical experience as possible, but with a lower carbon footprint. Products already exist on the market for health-conscious consumers, but BK customers apparently prefer burgers, health considerations notwithstanding. Presumably at least part of that preference is because they're greasy and salty and indulgent, and substitute products would need to check those same boxes to be appealing.
