Great meat alternative

Great tasty alternative to meat. I like that it has real ingredients that you can pronounce. Will definitely recommend to my plant based friends and family and those looking to try something new.

Gluten, Dairy, and Soy Free Veggie Burger

I have dairy and gluten sensitivity as well as issues with digesting meats in more than a small quantity. I was on the hunt for the Beyond Meat Burgers (which were sadly sold out) and came upon these. I’m always up to try a new veggie burger but many of them contain dairy and gluten products/byproducts that I try to avoid.

These are produced in Vancouver BC, made from an assortment of vegetables and whole ingredients. *Free of common allergens* big plus! Ingredients are: yellow split peas, carrots, green peas, red pepper, sunflower seeds, organic chia seeds, rice flour, pea fibre, vegetable fibre, coconut oil, onion, garlic, salt, tomato powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, less than 2% of yeast extract and natural flavour.

They are 230 calories each, 10 grams of fat, 135 mg of sodium, 510 mg of potassium, 33 grams carb (13 grams fibre, 4 grams sugar), 12 grams of protein, 30% daily Vitamin A, 15% daily Vitamin C, 6% daily calcium, and 20% daily iron.

They are a bit high in carbs but an excellent source of fibre, and with the mixture of a few types of incomplete proteins they come together to provide nutritional benefit from those proteins (for those who might be on a meat free diet). They’re not bad, they crisp on the outside and are a bit squishy on the inside. They’re a bit delicate to handle. I haven’t tried them on a bbq and worry they might break apart. They’re a decent pick for those with sensitivity to certain ingredients who are looking for a veggie option.
