But it's new to me, and I'm pretty excited about it.
I've had Gardein products before, but I just tried their frozen, meatless beef patties, and I must say, I am simply shocked!
This beefless burger can be grilled, microwaved, or anything in-between and they are still dripping with juicy flavor. The first one I ate took my taste buds back 10 years to the last burger I had. The texture and flavor are as close to a real burger as anything I've tried in the meat substitute market. Apparently, their technique is a secret.
Although the patty is processed, as most imitation meat substitutes are, it ranks pretty low on the bad-for-you scale in my opinion. Sodium and fat are low, protein is high, and they use several ingredients with near complete protein/amino profiles, like Quinoa. One of the main fears that people have with meat substitutes is soy origin. Gardein claims to only use non-GMO soy protein.
You HAVE to try this burger.
