Why Impossible™ Lite Ground Beef?
Unbelievably tasty
If you’re wondering how we make plants taste so much like meat, we’ll tell you: the key is heme (the molecule that makes meat taste, well, meaty). Ours is made via fermentation of yeast, and the process is pretty similar to the way Belgian beer is made. We could go on and on about magnificent heme, and we do here.
Nutrient-Packed

To cook Impossible Beef at home, just substitute it into any recipe that calls for ground beef. Mix it with spices like ground beef. Form it into patties like ground beef. Brown it in a pan like ground beef. Need we go on? Here’s how we like to make a classic Impossible™ Burger: 1. Form patties, or if you’re using one of our pre-formed patty packs, no assembly required! 2. Preheat your well-oiled pan to MEDIUM-HIGH or your grill to HIGH. 3. If you’re using thawed patties, cook for about 2 minutes per side. If your patties are frozen, they’ll need about 4 minutes per side. Want the details? Click here.
