Air NZ serves Impossible Burger with no meat
Air NZ has teamed up with Silicon Valley start-up Impossible Foods to serve a burger without meat to premium customers. The plant-based Impossible Burger will be available as part of its Business Premier menu on flights NZ1 and NZ5 from Los Angeles to Auckland until late October. The burger's key ingredient is an iron-containing molecule called heme, which comes from the roots of soy plants and is the same as the heme found in animal meat. The result is a plant-based burger patty that cooks, smells and tastes like beef but contains no animal products. Air NZ's in-flight customer experience manager Niki Chave said the plant-based option tasted just like the real deal. "We're confident vegetarians, flexitarians and dedicated meat lovers alike will enjoy the delicious taste.'' <br/>
