Although there are many plant-based burger patties that are being created to mimic the taste and texture of real meat, there are some products that leave something to be desired in terms of nutrition—but the Mana Burger sets itself apart as a nutritionally balanced vegan burger. The alternative burger created by food brand Mana is made with simple ingredients like pea, algae, mung bean, hemp and brown rice, and is fortified with vitamins and minerals. The Mana Burger boasts a nutritionally complete profile with the ideal balance of protein—20 grams—fat, carbs and fiber.
As Mana's Jakub Krejcik describes, "This is not a food intended for vegans only. On the contrary, it is an alternative for lovers of meat and beef burgers who want to eat healthy food that’s nutritionally complete and environmentally friendly."
