We love Impossible Foods, that uses innovative ingredients to replicate the sensations of eating a real hamburger.
Imitation meats are becoming a ripe field again for innovation, and authenticity is once again on the table with freshly employed ingredients. Impossible Foods, one of the newest contenders, has raised $183 million in funding to date.
