Use the Right Beans (and Partially Mash Them).
Whats the point of it tasting great if it never makes it to your mouth?
And crumbliness is absolutely unacceptable.
So how do we get there?
Use Canned Beans When Possible.
Canned beansare cooked consistently from brand to brand.

Get Some Chew with Nuts and Grains.
Nuts of all kinds will add interest firmer bites and bursts of flavor to your vegan burger.
Walnuts, hazelnut, pecans, and almonds are all good choices!

Another way to get that chewy bite?
Hearty grains like farro, brown rice, and barley are pleasing but mellow.
They also easily integrate with most other ingredients you throw their way.

This is a contributing factor for both taste and texture, so run with what you love.
Some of my favorite vegetables to include in my vegan burgers are:
Dont Forget the Seasoning!
Look for a blend that includes chili, cumin, and coriander.
Always Chill the Burger Mix.
Dont forget to chill the burger mix before you cook the burgers!
Seal the container and let the mixture chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.
This helps marry the flavors and give the burger structure.
Yes, you’ve got the option to Grill Veggie Burgers!
The primary meaty element that youre ever likely to get from a vegan burger comes from the cooking method.
Specifically, Im talkingchar,either from an outdoor grill or a cast iron pan.
