Nestlé USA unveils plant-based Awesome Burger
Nestlé’s new ‘cook from raw’ plant-based Awesome Burger (launching under the Sweet Earth brand in retail and foodservice) has similar levels of sodium and saturated fat to the Impossible Burger and the Beyond Burger, but has significantly more protein and fiber, say Sweet Earth founders Brian and Kelly Swette (picture: Hardy Wilson).
Each Awesome Burger - which contains textured yellow pea protein, vital wheat gluten, coconut oil, and canola oil – contains 26g protein (vs 19g/20g for Impossible/Beyond), and 6g fiber (vs 3g for Impossible/Beyond).
