These burgers have a unique ingredient in them that adds a nice flavor.
I love veggie burgers and I am always looking for new ways to make them. It is just so satisfying to take a bite out of a thick meatless burger that is load with toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and other toppings like avocado. Veggie burgers are a great way to get protein and fiber into your diet. I usually use some type of grain along with beans when I make my veggie burgers. Sure I can buy veggie burgers at the store but homemade ones are so much better and I can control the ingredients that I put into them. I can also make my burgers a whole like thicker so they resemble a real burger. I just like the chew of the veggie burgers to resemble a real burger but I want the taste to not have flavors of meat. I don’t know about other vegetarians but I always hated the taste of ground beef.
For this recipe of veggie burgers, I used a grain that was new to me. The grain that I used is Kaniwa or as others like to call it Baby Quinoa. Kaniwa is called Baby Quinoa because it looks and tastes similar to its botanical relative: quinoa. This delicious grain cooks up with a crunchy texture and is loaded with lots of nutrients. The grain is gluten-free and can be used in many recipes or served plain with some seasonings for dinner. I like to eat this grain for breakfast with dried fruit and yogurt. The best part is it cooks in 30 minutes and needs no soaking or rinsing. You must visit Pereg’s website to find out more and discover some tasty recipes like this Kaniwa Burger.

Great Recipe! Egg Replacer instead of Eggs for Vegetarians that don't eat eggs too!
I wonder if chia seeds might work too.
Oh now this sounds like a really interesting veggie burger I've not tried baby quinoa before, but I shall have to give it a whirl!
I love eating veggie burgers but I have never made one myself. I think I will give your recipe a try.
I have some baby quinoa in my pantry that's just begging to be used, so this is perfect! Visiting from the Plant Based Potluck :)
Your veggie burgers sound super tasty! We eat meat, but we eat a lot of veggie based meals too.
I love burgers but haven't tried veggie burgers before. But if it looks that delicious, I will definitely give it a try!
This looks so delicious! I have not had a burger made from quinoa, but would love to try one.
Another great idea for cooking with quinoa. Thanks for sharing as I do need to get better with this wonderful source of protein
Wow, this is so creative! It looks insanely tasty as well!
Oh my gosh, that sounds really tasty and delicious. I haven't tried making veggie burger so thanks for the recipe!
I'm a vegetarian, but my husband isn't. Finding filling recipes that we both love can be tricky. Your baby quinoa burgers sound awesome!
This looks like something my husband would love. I'll be honest, I have never tried quinoa before. I'm a little afraid of it, lol. My husband loves it though.
I didn't know that Kaniwa was called Baby Quinoa. My son just went vegetarian because of food allergies. I will have to try making this recipe for him and showing him this website for more recipes. Thanks for sharing the information and the recipe.
My Amore will definitely love this.
Ahh speaking of burger, yesterday there was a trending news about a burger promotion, and the people goes pandemonium to their branches, hahhaa its crazy!
