    Mission matters most

    Already considered the world’s No. 1 environmental startup(opens in a new tab), Impossible Foods’ mission(opens in a new tab) is to help solve the planet’s climate and extinction crises. The company is helping to turn back the clock on global warming(opens in a new tab) and restore biodiversity(opens in a new tab) by making the global food system sustainable. 

    Impossible Foods’ best known achievement to date, Impossible Burger, tastes like beef(opens in a new tab) and is considered a triumph of food engineering(opens in a new tab) -- the result of nearly a decade of basic science and hard-core research and development. (Some prominent Texas ranchers can’t tell the difference between Impossible Burger and ground beef from cows(opens in a new tab); a beef lobbyist called it the “real deal” and a “wake-up call”(opens in a new tab) for the livestock sector.)

    Impossible Burger has already started to displace sales of animal-derived foods(opens in a new tab), whose production is one of the biggest generators of greenhouse gas emissions and the leading driver of the global meltdown in wildlife(opens in a new tab). Impossible Burger has higher levels of many micro-nutrients than ground beef and requires a tiny fraction of the world’s precious resources to produce(opens in a new tab).

    Delicious, nutritious, sustainable -- and insanely popular

    Impossible Burger debuted in 2016 at some of America’s most acclaimed restaurants. It soon became a popular menu item at the world-class establishments of global chefs such as David Chang, Traci Des Jardins, Chris Cosentino, Frédéric Morin, Mark McEwan, Matty Matheson, David Myers, Gordon Ramsay, Wolfgang Puck and May Chow. Impossible Burger was named top plant-based burger by the (opens in a new tab) and received the Food and Beverage (FABI) Award(opens in a new tab) from the National Restaurant Association.

    Impossible Burger has as much bioavailable iron and protein as a comparable serving of ground beef from cows, and has macronutrients like fiber and micronutrients like folate, B12, thiamin and iron. The quarter-pound patty has 0 mg cholesterol, 14 grams of total fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, and 240 calories; the third-pound patty has 0 mg cholesterol, 19 grams of total fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, and 320 calories. (A conventional “80/20” patty from cows has 80 mg cholesterol, 23 grams of total fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, and 290 calories in a quarter-pound patty, and 110 mg cholesterol, 30 grams of total fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, and 390 calories in a third-pound patty.) 

    Impossible Burger contains no animal hormones or antibiotics and is gluten-free certified. It uses 96% less land, 87% less water and generates 89% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional beef from cows -- environmental benefits that also translate to economic efficiencies.

    Impossible Burger is also available to purchase on the company’s website(opens in a new tab) and in close to 17,000 grocery stores nationwide -- including Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, Trader Joe’s, Target and many more. For more recipe inspiration, home cooks can explore Impossible™: The Cookbook(opens in a new tab), which features 40 Impossible Burger dishes from some of the leading, meat-loving chefs in the world and highlights the ease and versatility of using Impossible Burger in the kitchen.
