The Rice<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are lots of options. You can cook up some plain brown or white rice, but for a grain free option, make a batch of cauliflower rice. We made yellow rice by saut\u00e9ing onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and jasmine rice, before adding vegetable broth.<\/p>\n

GROUND BEEF OR PLANT-BASED?<\/p>\n

When it comes to red meat, quality is crucial. Not knowing the source of your beef can be dangerous. Ground meat may not be from the same cow or even the same slaughter; it could be various meats from various resources, thus increasing the risk of contamination, such as E. coli.<\/p>\n

To avoid antibiotics or growth hormones, we suggest buying 100% grass-fed ground beef that\u2019s 10% fat or less. As there\u2019s no USDA standard for grass-fed meat, be aware that meat labeled as \u201cgrass-fed\u201d could potentially be from cattle that only spent a short time eating grass.<\/p>\n

The plant-based trend continues to grow. With the growing demand for meat alternatives, manufacturers are popping up everywhere, with Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods being the top sellers. These companies aren\u2019t just making food for vegans and vegetarians, they\u2019re coming after meat lovers. Millennials are gobbling down plant-based burgers like they\u2019re going out of style.<\/p>\n

Is this meat substitute better than the meat they are imitating? Based on calories and saturated fat, yes. But remember, plant-based meats are processed. We always opt for Beyond Meat, as the Impossible burgers are made from two different methods of genetically engineered soy products.<\/p>\n
