What You Should Know

You'd find this patty in the refrigerated or frozen plant-based section during a routine grocery run or when you're grabbing something quick for weeknight dinners. It gives a wholesome, plant-forward vibe — healthy and convenient with a homemade appearance but designed to satisfy burger cravings. The use of ingredients like pea protein and psyllium to create texture and stability hints at industrial formulation and processing beyond simple home cooking.
