Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods created a Farm Stand Cauliflower Burger that's not only plant-based but made exclusively with ingredients from local farms in New York and New Jersey. At a time when farmers need extra support, the brand took it upon itself to create this unique plant-based burger. The meatless burger patties are made with ingredients like brown rice, cremini mushrooms, quinoa, pea protein, fava beans, kale, peas, oat bran, zucchini, oat fiber and spices, offering nine grams of protein each, all without added sugars or cholesterol.
While the brand offers a range of other plant-based burgers, these ones offer something special for those who are passionate about eating locally, or just looking for an alternative to some of the more popular plant-based burger patties of the moment that are exceptionally meat-like.
