What is Beyond Sausage Made of?
Beyond Sausage currently comes in three flavors: Hot Italian, Sweet Italian, and Brat Original. There are also three varieties of Beyond Breakfast Sausage: Classic Patties, Classic Links, and Spicy Patties.
Beyond Sausage is a plant based protein that is gluten-free, soy-free, kosher, and contains no GMOs. It is made from primarily pea protein and rice protein. Those with allergies to legumes like peanuts should be cautious when introducing pea protein into their diet.
Beyond Meat also uses a variety of fats to mimic the richness of animal protein in their sausage. These fats include canola oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter.
They also contain starches, fibers, and natural flavors to compose their plant-based sausage products.
The full list of ingredients in Beyond Sausage can be found on Beyond Meat’s website.
Beyond Sausage mimics the flavor and texture of animal-based sausage very well. It comes in a sodium alginate casing (fully edible) that can be removed or kept intact as desired.
How Do I Cook Beyond Sausage?
Beyond sausage cooks up just like animal-based sausage. You can grill them, pan fry or saute them in a skillet (whole or sliced), or bake them in the oven.
All Beyond Sausage products should be cooked until they are browned, crispy on the outside, and have an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
As you’ll see below, there are many different applications for Beyond Sausage. If you’re looking to use ground sausage, you can remove the casing and use a cooking utensil to chop the Beyond Sausage in a pan. This is a great method for tacos or burritos.
Vegans and meat-eaters alike will love these Beyond Sausage recipes. Check out the recipes below.
