Now, a veggie burger that tastes like actual meat cheeseburger

London: Scientists have now created a veggie burger that has the taste of the actual cheeseburger.



Stanford professor, Patrick Brown has crafted The Impossible Cheeseburger, which is made by using "plant blood" that holds the secret the replicate the taste of meat, the Independent reported.

The sanguine liquid has the same consistency and metallic taste of blood and comes from the same molecule found in haemoglobin, which plays a big part in steak's distinctive taste.

The Wall Street Journal said after a taste test that it has the consistency of animal tissue and isn't overly spongy like tofu.

Brown said that the system that is used for the production of meat and cheese was totally "unsustainable" and had awfully harsh environmental consequences.
