Veggie burger
Varies widely by brand and base ingredient, from earthy and bean-forward to closely mimicking the taste of a beef patty.
Lens analyzedVeggie burgers are patties made from plant-based ingredients like beans, vegetables, grains, or soy protein, formed into a burger shape and meant to be pan-fried, grilled, or baked as a meat-free alternative to a beef patty.
Where it comes from
Meat-free patties developed as vegetarian cooking grew more mainstream in North America, with early versions built from beans and grains giving way to a wide range of styles, from bean-based to soy-based to pea-protein patties designed to mimic beef more closely.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list, since veggie burgers range from simple bean-and-vegetable patties to highly processed plant-protein products, and allergens like soy, wheat, or nuts vary significantly by brand.
Storing it
Keep frozen veggie burgers in the freezer until ready to cook; refrigerated fresh versions should be used by the printed date.
Keeps about 6 months in the freezer.
