A new company called Impossible Foods has created the Impossible Cheeseburger -- a veggie burger that bleeds like real meat.

It’s also probably the most meat-looking veggie burger I’ve ever seen.

Impossible Foods says: “You love meat. You love cheese. For thousands of years we’ve relied on animals to make them. Impossible Foods has found a better way. We use plants to make the best meats and cheeses you’ll ever eat.”

It’s all thanks to a molecule called heme found in the roots of certain plants.

Patrick Brown is the Stanford University biologist and physician behind Impossible Foods. He explains to the Wall Street Journal: “[Heme] is basically 99 percent of the secret to meat flavor. Heme is the molecule that makes meat taste like meat. It’s the reason meat tastes like nothing else. It’s the reason why red meat, which has more heme, tastes meatier to people than white meat.”

Heme gives the veggie burger beef-like color and taste.

After a taste test, the Journal reports that the Impossible Cheeseburger tastes something like a cross between a turkey burger and regular beef burger.

This mad science comes at a premium -- about $20 a burger. The Impossible Burger should be available to the public late next year.
