We tried more than 25 alt-protein burger, sausage, chicken nugget and fish products. Here's a breakdown of the best and worst
There is an entire universe of alternative proteins that mimic beef, chicken, pork and fish. There’s even a hunk of mycelium What follows are the results of our taste test of more than two dozen alternative proteins, evaluated on appearance, texture, taste and how closely each one mimics the original protein. There are names you’ve heard of along with many newbies. Come, take my sanitized hand and grab a fork as we enter this vast alt-protein world together.
Taste: Almost like a Wendy’s chicken nugget. Almost. But what it lacked in taste, it made up for in appearance and texture.Beyond Chicken Plant-Based Chicken TendersAppearance: Because of their rounded shape, they look like elongated nuggets. Calling them a tender is misleading!Taste: Salty and juicy. Your brain registers something meaty without any real flavor.
Taste: Both the links and patties were on the sweeter side and tasted like sausage that had been dipped in syrup. They were both pretty salty as well.Base ingredient: Pea proteinTexture: Soft and mealy. There’s no snap with the casing; it just kind of melts into the meat.How close it is to the real thing: 4 out of 10. It looks like a bratwurst, but that’s where the similarities end.Appearance: The perfectly round shape and brown color make it look like plastic play food.Taste: Salt.
How close it is to the real thing: 2 out of 10. It may look a little like Spam, but it doesn’t nail the texture or that processed-meat flavor.Appearance: Raw, it looks like a flattened mushroom processed to look like a strip of bacon. Cooked, it does resemble that bacon strip— with striping that runs its length.
Texture: It slices like tuna but the texture is anything but tender. It has a slight crunch that gives way to mush. Taste: A bland, salty, protein-like substance coated in breadcrumbs. Both products could benefit from tartar sauce and some ketchup. Appearance: A round, fairly bumpy patty of protein, similar to what you’ll find at your local market. You can make out fragments of what look like diced celery and green onion.
