Gardenburger Hamburger Style
Keep the taste of a good, old-fashioned burger, but forget the worries with Gardenburger Hamburger Style or Hamburger Style with Cheese soy patties distributed in the U.S.A.
A cheese-free Gardenburger has 90 calories and no fat.
The with-cheese version has 100 calories and 3 and half grams of fat (just 1 of them saturated). Cholesterol comes in at a low 10mg, sodium 400mg. The dietary exchange per burger is 1 carbohydrate.
The same-size burger made with typical "lean" ground beef contains 13 grams of fat, 5 of them saturated. And you'll get no fiber or phytochemicals to cut the risk of cancer.
The Gardenburgers' sodium (400mg per patty) is higher than fellow Boca Burgers (about 300mg). The taste is a little less beef-like.
If imitating beef isn't your thing, try Veggie Medley Gardenburgers. As described on the web site: "A farmers' market blend of delicious vegetables and grains with broccoli, rolled oats, savory onions, red and yellow bell peppers, crisp carrots, brown rice, and water chesnuts."
In addition to the Original and the *Veggie Medley, Gardenburger offers flavors of:
- Black Bean Chipotle Veggie Burger
- Sun-Dried Tomato Basil
- Portabella
*The Veggie Medley qualifies as a vegan burger.
You can cook your Gardenburgers in the oven, in the microwave, or on the grill! On the grill just be sure to use a food thermometer and make sure the burgers reach an minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees.
