I'm so psyched for BBQs now that the weather is so warm. I always like to keep a box of veggie burgers in the freezer just in case I don't feel like a regular burger, or if we have vegetarian guests over. Now that meat alternatives are so popular, there are so many different kinds to try out, like this Organic Sunshine Burger. Not only are they vegetarian, but they're also vegan, soy free, and gluten free.
Want to see what these burgers really look like and find out how they taste? Then read more.
| When I read the ingredients, I was surprised to see that these burgers are mostly made from ground up raw sunflower seeds and rice, which gives them a soft, slightly squishy texture. The mild flavor came from the black beans, peppers, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño peppers, cumin, and onion. It was slightly spicy, but I was expecting more of a kick. It did grill well and didn't stick to the grate like some meat alternatives, like tofu pups, can. Since these burgers are pre-cooked, they only need a few minutes on the grill to heat through. Overall, I found these Sunshine Burgers to be just OK. They were a little too dry for my tastes and honestly, I wanted more flavor. |

that is one high calorie veggie burger!
1that's a lot of fat for a veggie burger . . . there are a lot of better alternatives
2I think the fat probably comes from the seeds. One of my favorite veggie friendly burgers that I've had are portabello mushroom garlic burgers.
3I actually love these burgers! It's a nice soy-free alternative, and I love sunflower seeds.
4There is a good deal of fiber in there.
5Nice... a burger me and my gluten free friends can have. Plus 9g of fiber. I'll have to give this a try.
6Kinda high in cals for a veggie burger, but nice amnt of fiber!
7it looks good and hearty, but that's ALOT of calo.

I love these! I have only tried the original flavor. They are green though, which can be off-putting to some. I have found that either people really like these or really don't.
9I like Boca Burgers....
10Hmmm..pretty high calories. I like the Morning Star Farms "Pizza" veggie burgers. MMMMMMM.. It's like a little piece of heaven in a bun!
11I would try these; it looks good.
My favorites are from Boca , Garden Burger & Morningstar Farms.
12They're a bit high in calories...you'd probably get about the same amount of calories in a lean grilled hamburger. But if you're wanting to go meatless, I'd probably go with Boca burgers or Gardenburgers.
13I always choose a veggie burger over a beef one...just not a red meat lover.
Or I'll have a turkey burger.
14I'd rather have a turkey burger...
15I just got done trying the Garden Herb kind and LOVE these things. I was skeptical at first because of the ingredients and the color, but I'm so glad I tried these things!!
