Vegetarians seeking a protein-rich burger alternative that is healthy, wholesome and equally as filling can turn to the pre-made vegetarian patties by Dr. Praeger's that made using a medley of black beans and quinoa. The combination of the two ingredients provides a rich, simplistic and nutritious meal-alternative.
The patties are proudly made with vegetables and superfoods, without trying to mimic the taste or the flavor of meat. Instead the vegetarian burgers aim to provide a filling and alternative legume version made with tri-colored quinoa, beans, potato flakes, peppers, corn and jalapenos. The patties are pre-made and frozen so that consumers can quickly cook them on the grill. The use of quinoa helps to bind the patties so they hold together like a real burger would.
The dish is also conveniently gluten-free.
