Veggie Burgers

While this vegetarian alternative to the traditional hamburger can be flavorful and even nutritious when comprised of the right ingredients, many food manufacturers create variations of this product that are chock full of additives and fillers.

When buying a pre-made veggie burger, make sure that the vegetables are at the absolute top of the ingredients list, and that ingredients such as cornstarch, yeast extract and gums of any kind are either nowhere to be found, or at the very least, at the bottom of the list. As always, read those labels- the ingredients are usually ‘beyond’ comprised of chemicals.
