Vegan Nut Burgers (Earth Nut)

Did you know there's a new burger in town? Earth Nut Burgers are crafted in small batches, with organic ingredients, and farmed in the USA. With no preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors, these vegan nut burgers are so easy to make! Earth Nut Burgers aren't a typical imitation fake meat burger. Instead, these flavorful burgers are made with peanuts and chickpeas. 

Are you sick of black bean burgers and imitation meat? 

Then try an Earth Nut burger made with all-natural ingredients. With three different burger options and breakfast sausage, Earth Nut Simple Foods offers a great vegan nut burger and sausage made from quality ingredients.

So, I decided to try the original savory burger, as well as the mesquite barbecue burger with an amazing nut burger recipe.

After looking over the ingredients, as always, I researched the ones I'm unfamiliar with. Psyllium Husk, for instance, immediately caught my eye. 

According to Healthline, psyllium husk, a form of fiber and prebiotic — a substance needed for healthy colonies of probiotics to grow in the gut.

A healthy colony of good bacteria in the digestive system is essential for healthy immune function. Your body is better able to fight infection, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy tissue and cells.

The Best Ways to Cook Earth Nut Burgers

Although my first instinct was to grill the burgers, the directions suggest microwaving or baking the burgers for the best results. Of course, I tried baking and microwaving to see which way I preferred. Obviously, the microwave method yielded a hot burger in 30 seconds. 

Whereas baking took only 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Regardless of what cooking method is chosen, this burger cooks quickly and easily for a fast and healthy meal.

Environmentally Conscious

Did you know it takes 106.28 gallons of water to produce one ounce of generic beef protein? Earth nut patties only use 5 gallons of water!

Legumes spread vastly, eliminating evaporation and conserving water. Also, peanuts replenish nitrogen in the soil, eliminating the need for fertilizers.

Although lab-grown meat can be a good source of protein—Impossible has 19 grams of protein in 4 oz., and Beyond has 20 grams of protein in 4 oz.—they lack many of the other nutrients found in other veggie burgers, such as fiber and a host of vitamins and minerals. Earth Nut burgers made of simple, clean organic ingredients, like peanuts, chickpeas, and spices, have 23 grams of protein, 13 grams of fiber, and 30 percent of daily iron requirements.

Did I love it?

YES! Not only is this the quickest burger I've ever made, but it also didn't taste microwaved for dried out. Honestly, I thought it might be flimsy, but surprisingly, the Earth Nut Burger stayed moist and was quite tasty. The savory burger tasted "meaty" with an umami flavor. 

Since I wanted to try both cooking methods, microwaving and baking, I microwaved the Savory burger and baked the Mesquite burger. 

On the other hand, the Mesquite burger tasted just like its distinctive barbeque name, similar to being cooked over a fire. Although baked, this burger tasted as if cooked directly on the grill.
