What You Should Know

Green Way Black Bean Burger is a frozen vegan patty sold in a 10 oz package of four, positioned for shoppers in the freezer aisle near other meatless burgers, veggie nuggets, and frozen organic vegetables — sometimes cross-merchandised close to refrigerated plant-based proteins. It reads like a pantry-friendly convenience item for weeknight dinners, backyard cookouts, or quick lunches on busy workdays; its southwest chipotle-spiced profile also makes it a natural pick for game-day spreads and casual weekend brunches. The brand leans into a wholesome, nature-forward positioning: “natural,” “good for you, good for the earth,” and a gentle imperfect-produce story that appeals to eco-conscious, label-reading millennials and families choosing plant-forward options. Packaging emphasizes vegan and whole-grain cues, “natural” language, and simple ingredient names, though it does not claim organic certification. On the label you’ll notice nutrition callouts (7 g protein per serving, 130 calories, 0 g trans fat) and a short ingredient list that mixes recognizable foods (brown rice, black beans, corn, peppers) with processed components (soy protein concentrate, wheat gluten, cellulose gum, natural flavor). In plain processing context: this is a formulated plant-based product made from cooked grains and legumes plus industrial protein isolates and stabilizers. Sensory-wise the patty is slightly dense and moist with a grainy rice-and-bean bite, mild smokiness from chipotle, occasional corn sweetness, and a soft exterior that crisps when pan-seared or grilled; typical usage is to thaw or cook frozen straight from the pan, dress on a bun with toppings, or crumble into salads and bowls. Overall it sits at the intersection of convenience, plant-based eating, and mildly adventurous southwestern flavor.
