McDonald’s is adding plant-based McNuggets to their menu and I have to say that I’m willing to try them…once they make their way to the U.S. Germany will be the first to try the McPlant nuggets next week.
According to AP News, McPlant Nuggets are made from peas, corn and wheat with a tempura batter. McDonald’s has partnered up with Beyond Meat to make the nuggets and has also created the McPlant burger. And although the McPlant burger will also be available in Germany next week, it’s already a permanent menu item in United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria and the Netherlands. Last month, McDonald’s rolled out the Double McPlant burger in the U.K. and Ireland.
McDonald’s ended a test of the McPlant burger in the U.S. last summer without announcing any future plans to keep it on the menu.
But, other fast food chains in the U.S. have had success with plant-based options on their menu, including Burger King, Chipotle, Subway, and more. Check out those options here.
