FAQs
Are veggie burgers lower in sodium than beef burgers?
It depends. Bean and vegetable-based veggie burgers are generally lower sodium with less than 700mg per patty. But newer simulated meat options can be just as high in sodium as a beef burger.
What are good low sodium veggie burger options?
Look for burgers made primarily from whole foods like beans, lentils, quinoa, mushrooms, brown rice, etc. These tend to have 350-700mg sodium or less per patty.
Is sodium the only nutrient I should consider when choosing a veggie burger?
Also pay attention to protein, fiber and overall vitamins and minerals. Ideally the burgers should provide nutritional benefits beyond just being low sodium.
Are veggie burgers healthy?
Burgers focused on whole plant foods deliver protein, fiber and important nutrients for good health. But some highly processed simulated meat options just replace beef with unhealthy additives.
