The Best Veggie Burger

delicious but it's also the lowest in fat that I've seen. We even served
it to our guests for a 4th of July cookout! Anyone agree?

According to the nutrition articles I've read, a food item should have no
more than 3 grams of fat per 100 calories in order to be considered "low
fat". I don't have a Morningstar Farms package in front of me right
now, but I know I've checked this fat/calorie ratio on them and they do seem
to follow this guideline. Therefore, at least according to these guidelines,
the Morningstar Farm Grillers are considered low fat.

Also worth a look are the Green Giant shamburgers and faux-sages. They are a
bit pricy (as are all the fak-o-meats) but good. The southwestern style works
well cut up into refried beans for making burritos. The breakfast patties
microwave well, too. Put one of them on a siced, toasted bagel.

I do!!! They do contain egg white but I eat eggs so it doesn't bother
me. Their breakfast sausage patties are very good too as are their
breakfast links (but the patties are better). I did not care for their
bacon strips though, they wouldn't fool anyone.

I think the Vegi Burger is great but the "Griller" is not that good. The
sim-chicken makes a great sandwich and the sim-suasage make a good breakfast
ad on. Gree Giants Mexican and Italian Harverst Burgers are really great
also.

ADM product marketed under the Midland Harvest brandname. I've been using
the granule product for some time, and its quite good if a little difficult
to get to stay together. The pre-packaged burgers have also begun to show
up in health food stores here in NYC, and they are far more convienent to
use, and hold up better. Highly recomended!

But did you notice the Green Giant Harvestburgers use hyrogenated fat?

I've found that the Grillers are _really_ greasy.. so much that I started
buying the Healthy Foods "Vege-" line, instead. Now _that's_ a great
vege-burger!

Grillers are o.k. if you barbecue or fry them...(yes they
do tend to be greasier than most veggie burgers)
However, I don't recommend microwaving them....I've tried
this and they turn out floppy and chewy -- ick!

their new Gardenburgers quite as much. Personally, I don't think the
grillers are too greasy. They are the only brand of veggieburger that
I've been able to serve to nonvegetarians and ALWAYS get a favorable
response. They're also priced a lot more reasonably than a lot of the
other brands. The Green Giant ones are fairly good, too. I like to make
my own, but my fiancee (a nonveg) likes the grillers better.

patties, links and bacon strips are awful good too, considering they've never
been near a pig. If you haven't tried them, go for it. Admittedly, they do
have a bit of grease...but NO cholesterol. For those of us who must
follow this sanction, the actual honest taste of *sausage* (even if it isn't)
from Morningstar makes those egg substitutes almost nice.
: I still think that the Morningstar Grillers are the best. The Green
Giant ones are fairly good, too.
Sorry, have to disagree about the Green Giant version. To me, they're
too pale and mushy...no real burger taste like Morningstar.
But it's true...you just can't argue taste.

I've tried many different veggie burgers and find that the GardenBurger
is the best. This is a frozen burger that major grocery stores now carry.

the only non-meat item in a meat case. Vegetarians would never even
look in that particular case. (I found them because my mom likes
them--she eats meat, so she saw them in the case.) I spoke to the
assistant manager of one of our local Publix stores, but he said that
they are ordered by the meat department and are coded meat, so that's
where they are sold. It would be a shame if other veggie people
missed them!

The New York Times in Wednesday's paper (January 3, 1994) had a rather
extensive rating of vegetarian burgers, in case anyone is interested in that
paper's view on the subject.

I'm new to this thread, so forgive me if someone else has already
mentioned this: I think Ken & Robert's Veggie Burgers (Patties?)
are very good. They're made by the people who bring you (Ken &
Robert's) veggie pockets (which I believe are vegan). It's a
toss-up for me between K&R and Gardenburgers. They both have good
flavor and texture without tasting like sausage (like Grillers do).
I can only get it at my local co-op, though, while the Green Giant,
Grillers, and GardenBurger varieties seem a lot more easily
obtainable....
Just my 2 cents,
