McDonald's is finally taking a nibble of the plant-based burger.

The global restaurant chain said on Thursday it will sell the PLT - or plant, lettuce and tomato - burger for 12 weeks in 28 restaurants in Southwestern Ontario by the end of the month. McDonald's says it developed a special recipe using burgers from Beyond Meat, a California-based start-up that makes "meat" from pea protein, canola oil, beet juice and other ingredients.
