What are vegan burgers made of?

So maybe you are someone who loves burgers. But due to health or diet issues, you will have to need to follow a plant-based diet plan. This might sound saddening for a burger lover, but you do not need to worry because vegan burgers exist and they taste as good as your regular ones (sometimes, even better!). To put it simply, a vegan or veggie burger is a burger patty that does not contain meat. Instead, these burgers are made from healthy and plant-based ingredients which are rich in fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals such as:

Beans – the most commonly used are soybeans, black beans, or lentils which are packed with protein.
Nuts – another great source of protein and healthy fats.
Grains and Tofu – Although tofu is not as popular as grains in veggie burgers, it still provides a good amount of nutrition to the body. For grains, the popular ones used for vegan burgers are quinoa and rice.

Of course, a veggie or vegan burger will not be complete without your own fair share of vegetables including carrots, zucchini, lettuce, mushrooms, and more.
