Today’s veggie burger is anything but a meat “substitute.” Dr. Praeger’s
Sensible Foods, which has been serving up the cleanest, most flavorful
options in the aisle for two decades, is adding two new varieties to its
line-up this spring: Kale Veggie and Black Bean. With consumer demand
for nutrient-packed, high-antioxidant “superfoods” and plant-based
options on the rise, Dr. Praeger’s continues to lead innovation in the
category.
“Consumers wanting to eat more superfoods don’t need to look any further
than their freezer,” said Larry Praeger, CEO of Dr. Praeger’s Sensible
Foods. “Our new Black Bean Burger and Kale Veggie Burger are two of the
most nutritious meatless options on the market.”
Dubbed the “queen of greens,” kale boasts more iron than beef:
-
Kale Veggie Burger: Packed with quinoa, brown rice, millet,
kale and nine other vegetables, the Kale Veggie Burger is made
exclusively with ingredients you can recognize. Low in sodium, free of
GMOs and a great source of Vitamin A, the Kale Veggie Burger is also
gluten-free, vegan and kosher.
Protein and fiber-packed black beans are one of the World’s Healthiest
Foods, according to the George Mateljan Foundation:
-
Black Bean Burger: Featuring black beans and brown rice, the
Black Bean Burger is a great source of vegetarian protein, with 12
grams per serving. It’s kosher and free of GMOs and saturated fats.
All of Dr. Praeger’s all-natural, Kosher Certified frozen burgers are
made of the best produce and ingredients available, making them healthy
and convenient alternatives for customers looking to eat well and create
a balanced lifestyle. The two new vegetarian burgers have a SRP of $3.99
per box of four, individually wrapped patties. The Black Bean burger is
available now at select grocery and natural food stores nationwide; the
Kale Veggie Burger is available now at select Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFM)
and will be in grocery and natural food stores nationwide beginning in
May 2014.
