The new Koala Veggie

Jul 19 2021 Uncategorized

A veggie burger is a burger patty that does not contain meat. These burgers may be made from ingredients like beans, especially soybeans and tofu, nuts, grains, seeds or fungi such as mushrooms or mycoprotein.

The patties that are the essence of a veggie burger have existed in various Eurasian cuisines for millennia, including in the form of disc-shaped grilled or fried meatballs or as koftas, a commonplace item in Indian cuisine. These may contain meats or be made of entirely vegetarian ingredients such as legumes or other plant-derived proteins.

There have been numerous claims of invention of the veggie burger. The dish, by name, may have been created in London in 1982 by Gregory Sams, who called it the ‘VegeBurger’. Sams and his brother Craig had run a natural food restaurant in Paddington since the 1960s; a Carrefour hypermarket in Southampton sold 2000 packets in three weeks after its launch. An earlier reference can be heard in the 7 June 1948 episode of the American radio drama series Let George Do It called “The Mister Mirch Case” where a character refers to “vegeburgers,” as a burger made of nuts and legumes.

Using the name Gardenburger, an early veggie burger was developed by Paul Wenner around 1980 or 1981 in Wenner’s vegetarian restaurant, The Gardenhouse, in Gresham, Oregon.

WHY HEALTHY

Many veggie burgers are made from vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (like beans or lentils). These are good-for-you ingredients that provide fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Packaged veggie burgers (like Morning Star Farms or Boca) can also be a part of a healthy eating plan. They’re a quick and convenient way to enjoy a meatless meal and typically run from 70 to 130 calories per patty.

Pair with a whole-grain bun and pile the fresh veggies high for a well-balanced meal.

When it comes to veggie burgers, your best bet is to make your own. This way, YOU control the ingredients. You can even make a double batch and freeze half for later.

What Does A Veggie Burger Taste Like?

Flavor and Smell

Beef burgers have a distinctive flavor and smell. You’d definitely know when someone is cooking a beef burger in your house just by its smell.

Veggie burgers’ flavor and smell differ depending on the ingredients. Each kind has a distinctive flavor because they’re made out of an assortment of ingredients. Also, they don’t have a specific smell.

Nutrients

The protein that comes from beef is pretty high. Red meat, in general, is a superior source of iron and vitamins.

Veggie burgers are made of almost equal percentages of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It’s low in fiber and it’s a good source of vitamin B12, phosphorus, and dietary fiber. One of the bad aspects of veggie burgers is that they tend to be high in sodium.

The Texture of Veggie Burgers

Just like the flavor, the texture depends heavily on the ingredients. The chewiest veggie burgers are typically created to resemble beef. They are thick, with a diminishing consistency at times and juicy sponginess at other times.

Both veggie burgers made of beans, rice, and vegetables are lighter and mushier. Often, they can be crunchy, that’s mostly when minced carrots and beetroot are used.

Some of the texture can be observed when cooking the burgers. Beef, when cooked, at about 131°F to 140°F becomes medium-rare. Meaning, the beef is cooked and can be eaten. It becomes moist, juicy, and soft.

Will you want to cook your veggie burger at the same temperature as your beef burger? Many people tend to think this way, to ensure that customers see their veggie burger as a typical burger.

Yet it’s tougher than you might really imagine. Much as you had to do with color, you have to consider proteins that change at the same temperature as meat!
