Burger King McDonald's
McDonald’s is the next major fast food chain to offer a meatless burger in partnership with Beyond Meat. The restaurant chain has announced that it will be testing out the resulting plant-based creation in 28 of its Canadian restaurants over the span of 12 weeks.
Burger King Sweden is so proud of its plant-based Rebel Whopper and Rebel Chicken King sandwiches that the fast food restaurant is offering burger fans a daring challenge in the form of its 50/50 Menu. Anyone who orders a Whopper or Chicken King off the menu will be served either the original sandwich or plant-based variety, with the aim to prove that the new, non-meat items are indistinguishable from the originals.
What does the plant based mean?
A plant-based diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of foods derived from plants, including vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits, and with few or no animal products.
It requires 22 ingredients to replicate the taste and texture of a classic hamburger.
