Also it generates 91% less GHG emissions when compared to animal beef (Impossible Beef US LCA, 2022). Look for the red bag in the refrigerator case or just hit Add to Cart!

Q: How long can an unopened and uncooked package of Impossible Plant-Based Burger Ground be left unrefrigerated?

submitted by Holiday Hopeful - 4 years ago
  • A: Thanks for your question, Holiday! Our product should always be kept at a refrigerated temperature. When purchased thawed, your package of Impossible Burger should have a sticker with a “best by” date. For best freshness, you should prepare and eat the entirety of the package before this date. When frozen, Impossible Burger should be consumed within 10 days of thawing and always prior to the "use by" date printed on the packaging.

Q: does the amount shrink when cooked?

submitted by peggi - 4 years ago
  • A: You’ll be pleasantly surprised that Impossible shrinks less than conventional ground beef. If you’re used to making burgers, tacos, or spaghetti and needing to drain moisture or fat out of the pan, you’ll quickly notice that it's not necessary—the juiciness stays in until you take your first bite. This means that you should be able to use just one 12oz. (¾ pound) package in any recipe that calls for 16oz. (1lb) ground beef and get approximately the same yield you’re used to.

Q: what are the other ingredients and what does "plant based" mean?

submitted by jack - 5 years ago
  • A: Hi Jack! Some of our key ingredients are soy protein, coconut and sunflower oils, and heme, the key to meaty flavor. Plant-based means no animal-derived ingredients. You can view our ingredient list in the Label Info section of the product listing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to make a hamburger, and it turned out really good. The taste was close to real beef, and the texture was similar too. It's a great vegan alternative. The portion size is good for the price, and it cooks well from burgers to tacos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the impossible meat product not knowing what to expect, let me tell you… it’s amazing!!! The packaging is simple yet cute and the meat mixed so well with other ingredients when I used it to make spaghetti, burgers and more!! Super yummy and comparable to meat as another choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has a different smell when you cook it, I can't explain it. I def wouldn't make burgers w it, but it went great in chili. Kind of tasted like the meat in canned chili. The flavor is okay on it's own, but I think I'll only use it in stuff that has a sauce or soups and stews. Be sure you use oil when frying it, as there is no fat to keep it from sticking. I gave it a 3 bc it's limited (IMO) as far as uses I'd consider.

The Texture Is Very Soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cooked this just like I cook my ground beef. I also added the same seasoning as well. It cooked very quick which was great! It is way softer than ground beef and smells horrible when you first open it. It doesn’t taste terrible but the texture is very soft. I honestly feel like it doesn’t fill me up as much as regular ground beef. This is a GREAT alternative for someone who cuts out meat in their diet. It cooks great and is great for tacos or spaghetti or anything you’d use real beef for! I just don’t like the texture, I prefer real beef! I was very shocked by how well it cooked!

Softer meat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive had Impossible meat before, but from fast food restaurants only. This was my first time cooking with Impossible. The cooking time is a lot faster than regular meat. I made chili, and found that it crumbled and was a bit mushier than traditional meat chili. In spite of being a little soft, it tasted great and my bf also enjoyed it.

Can’t tell the difference between real meat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very tasty! You honestly can’t even tell that this isn’t real ground beef. Just like real meat, the seasoning that you use makes all the difference. I personally used some seasoning salt and some spicy mayo and it was delicious. The one thing I will say to be careful of is that if you eat the whole package in one sitting, it will create quite the upset stomach.

Not That Impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is nice and compact, leaving it small and easy to put in the freezer taking up next to no space. The ingredients are just okay. It’s plant based, so it’s great if you want to avoid eating meat from an animal, but there are still so many chemicals pumped into the meat that makes it not much healthier or better for you. The smell upon opening it made my stomach turn. It smells like canned dog food and I couldn’t get past it. Texture of it when I attempted to mold it and cook with it, was like grainy and very dense.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The taste is amazing and the texture and flavor are identical to actual beef. I am not a vegetarian, but i tend to lean towards meat substitutes just because I love the flavor and this did not disappoint. I fried up the “meat” like I normally would and made a delicious rice bowl. 100/10 recommend!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed with the impossible burger and how tasty it was! It was easy to form it into patties. The burger really tasted like ground beef, I could not tell a difference. However, I liked the fact that I was not eating meat and making a healthier choice. The texture was also the same as a regular burger! I would definitely recommend it and buy again in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really impressed with this product. Packaging – vacuum-sealed tray with clear labeling, easy to store and quick to thaw. Ingredients – soy protein, coconut and sunflower oils, heme (for meat-like flavor and color), gluten-free and fully plant-based. Texture – raw it looks just like real ground beef, and after cooking it browns well and stays juicy. Cooking – ready in 5–7 minutes in a pan, just like regular ground meat. Great for tacos, sauces, burgers. Taste – rich, umami flavor with a slightly smoky note. Not exactly like beef, but very tasty and satisfying.
