Impossible Foods' Pork is a newly released plant-based pork alternative that is coming to restaurants like Ruby Tuesday, Tim Ho Wan and Hong Kong’s Beef & Liberty. Shortly after, the vegan-friendly pork will be making its way to retail stores, helping to provide consumers with yet another kind of meatless alternative. While there are plenty of options when it comes to chicken or beef, this new product has the potential to help restaurants and at-home chefs create bold new dishes.
Impossible Foods’ president Dennis Woodside says, "Pork typically isn’t regarded as a healthy product. But here you have a substitute that tastes just as good and is actually better for you.” This meatless alternative to pork boasts 18 grams of protein. 37% fewer calories, 59% less fat and zero cholesterol in comparison to conventional ground pork.
