Beyond meat sausages offer a distinct texture similar to real meat and come in an assortment of flavors. Not only are they packed with protein – with no soy or gluten – they’re easy to cook as well, making grilling, pan-frying, baking or microwave preparation possible!
When cooking these vegan sausages, it’s essential that they are completely heated through and cooked through – this will ensure they are safe to consume.

Nutritional Information
Beyond Sausage is a vegan- and vegetarian-friendly plant-based sausage alternative designed to appeal to both diets. Its makers promote it as being more “healthy” than its meat counterpart, noting its lack of cholesterol, lower saturated fat levels and sodium content.
This product contains no animal products and is also free from gluten, soy, GMOs and MSG. It provides a moderately high source of protein while providing vegans with vitamin B12 that may otherwise be hard to obtain through their diet alone.
As with pork sausage, its saturated fat content is higher than many reduced-fat varieties and turkey sausages; however, its saturated fat level is generally lower. Like other processed foods, it contains nitrates and nitrites which, when cooked at high temperatures, may convert to cancer-causing nitrosamines that may contribute to cancer risk; however, unlike many products it does not contain sodium nitrates or ingredients known to trigger nut allergies; pea and rice protein are its primary sources of protein.
Ingredients
Beyond sausage is made of pea protein, rice and natural flavors derived from various vegetables – free from GMOs, gluten, soy and corn! Ideal for health benefits or ethical considerations.
Cooking this plant-based sausage is similar to making any other kind of sausage: fry in a pan or place on a griddle for optimal results; ensure its outer edge becomes crisp when making patties so that the exterior has time to brown properly for best results. Add this plant-based option into soup or chili dishes!
