Animal-like protein beats 100% beef in blind taste test.

A new study from Food Research International reveals that in a blind taste test, the animal-like protein burger was preferred over the 100% beef burger. The study analyzed sensory drivers and barriers to liking four burger patties, including two plant-based options, one hybrid meat-mushroom, and one 100% beef burger. Despite the growing popularity of plant-based protein products, overall sensory appreciation remains low.
