When Beyond Meat was first founded in 2009, it was one of the only companies on a mission to create non-meat meat products.
Now, as the company gets ready to file for an IPO, it’s one of hundreds of VC-backed companies working toward a more plant-based, sustainable future.
If you’re on the hunt for some meatless options over the holidays, here are a few of the companies you might consider trying.
Impossible Foods
The company’s plant-based burgers combine natural ingredients like fats, amino acids and vitamins to create raw “meat” from plants. Together, the ingredients deliver the texture and aroma of conventional beef, enabling consumers to access an alternative to conventional meat and dairy products.
