Here's a shot of the freezer door at Natural Grocers in Clive, Iowa with Beyond Meat products. They have 2 SKU's Beyond Beef Crumbles ($5.19), 2 SKU's Beyond Chicken Strips ($4.69), 3 facings of the Beyond Burger (Reg. $5.89, on sale for $4.89), and one facing each of the Beyond Sausage Italian and the Brat ($8.69).


Since we were talking ingredients, allow me to describe Beyond's competition you see here.

The Quorn product (lower left) is made with a type of fungus (a fermented mycoprotein), it's a UK based company and the product is conventional. Some items are vegan; others contain eggs. Tasty stuff, if you want to try one I recommend the "Chik'n Nuggets".

Sunshine Burgers (family owned) is an old-school natural foods brand, as you might guess they're made with sunflower seeds. Certified organic product, items are vegan. Been around a very long time, they have several varieties. Good taste, real, whole food ingredients. No mistaking it for beef though.

Field Roast (lower right) is made with vital wheat gluten and some of their products also contain tofu. Conventional product. Items are vegan. Pretty tasty, heavy on the gluten. They call their products "grain meat" and have sausages that are quite good. This brand was recently sold to Canada's largest meat processor, Maple Leaf Foods.

Top shelf left, Boca burgers (Kraft foods) have been around a long time. Made with textured soy protein, conventional product. You'll probably find this brand in a lot of supermarkets along with Morningstar brand (Kellogg's). These products may taste ok but use cheap ingredients. These two brands are also not vegan, one has cheese and the other uses egg whites.

Next to those are Amy's products, they are made with a high proportion of organic ingredients. Amy's is a very large privately owned company and a natural foods industry pioneer.
Sonoma burger = quinoa and mushrooms
California burger (their original from 1989) = mushrooms, wheat, onions, walnuts, and other veggies
All American burger = Non-GMO textured soy protein, bulgur wheat and veggies - this one is "perfect for grilling"

I hope you find this information helpful.
