According to the brand, Beyond Mince looks, cooks and satisfies as minced meat, but is 100 percent of vegetable origin, without using soy, gluten or artificially produced ingredients. It has the versatility, texture and juiciness of minced meat.

“From tacos to meatballs, Bolognese to Mini-hamburgers, Beyond Mince is an alternative to any classic minced meat recipe. The protein comes from peas and rice, while coconut oil and potato starch ensure the juiciness and texture and beetroot gives the reddish tone to the meat,” said a spokesman from Apolónia.

“The appearance of brands such as Beyond Meat™ at Apolónia, are the result of the increase in the number of customers who are concerned about environmental sustainability issues and also due to an increase in those who seek to find alternatives for animal proteins as part of their diet,” concluded the spokesman.
