Beyond Steak has already experienced a successful initial rollout at stores including Kroger, Walmart, Albertsons, Ahold, Target, and Sprouts Farm Market. Now, it will also be available at Whole Foods Markets, Publix, Wegmans, Meijer, and Stater Bros. Markets. Beyond Steak is 170 calories per serving with 21 grams of protein. It only has one gram of saturated fat, which the American Heart Association recommends limiting. Beyond Steak has been certified as heart-healthy by the same association.
Switching from animal proteins to plant-based meat products is a sustainable decision. Plant-based meat products help reduce land use, and Pollution, and curb greenhouse gas emissions. Especially alarming is the amount of methane livestock emits. Cattle are especially notorious for their methane gas emissions. Each year, one cow produces between 154 to 264 pounds of methane gas. When you consider that there are over one billion cows worldwide, that is a staggering amount of methane. Beyond Steak offers a potential solution to this problem. Additionally, it helps to curb the cruelty that is inherent to the factory farm system. Plant-based meat products, such as Beyond Steak, offer sustainable, humane, and healthy alternatives to regular meat.
