The Impossible Burger is a plant-based burger designed to mimic the taste and texture of beef. It is made primarily from ingredients like soy protein, potato protein, and coconut oil, along with a key ingredient called heme, which is derived from soy leghemoglobin. This ingredient gives the burger its meaty flavor and helps it "bleed" like a traditional beef burger when cooked. Introduced by Impossible Foods in 2016, the Impossible Burger aims to provide a sustainable alternative to meat, reducing the environmental impact associated with livestock farming. It is available in various restaurants and grocery stores, appealing to both vegetarians and meat-eaters looking for healthier options.
