First of all for those who have no idea what a beyond burger is, they are basically plant-based burger patties that resemble the real beef patty in every way, they taste, look and feel like a real beef patty.
If you visit your local supermarket trust me you won’t notice that it’s beef or Beyond Burger patty. You may be wondering why someone would get plant-based patty when you can get the real meat.
Let me tell you why, the reason for that is it has 100% Plant-Based Protein, There is No Soy used in it, it’s completely gluten-free, and has no GMO (genetically modified organism).
Moreover, it has less than 35% Saturated fat which is incredible if you are conscious about your fat intake you can totally relate to what I just said.
Perks of this are you can store that in a freezer but once it’s open you will have to use it within 3-4 days. There are some dos and Don’ts which you will have to keep in mind and that is you cannot boil, Microwave, or deep fry it.

Tips to improve your recipe
There is not that much of a science in making beyond burgers but there are few things that you can keep in mind while making these burgers. After years of experience and experiments, I have discovered these few tips which I believe will help you out. They worked for me so far and have helped me make the most mouthwatering burgers.
The most Important thing is how long you cook your patty
As for me in the beginning it used to take me around 10 mins to cook the frozen patty it may vary for most of you depending on how hot your grill is. If your meat is undercooked it will taste gross you will have to be care full with that because Beyond meat may look cooked from the outside but it can be raw from inside.
The meat storing time
Most of you would be wondering for how long we can store the cooked meat? Well if have made some extra patties you can store them in the fridge for 3-4 days while in the freezer it can last up to 2-5 months
Final tip
There is a question that might arise in your mind which meat is healthier? The answer is simple beyond meat, why? It has the same number of proteins and calories it has no cholesterol, and what makes it superior to meat is that it has fiber in it which real meat does not have.
