With BBQ season on the horizon those of us on a plant-based diet can’t wait to try the latest vegan options – but are vegan burgers actually healthy? Keep reading to find out.

Vegan burgers

The huge range and variety of vegan burgers on offer in supermarkets today are tastier and more satisfying than ever before. There are options ranging from plant-based imitations of meat to more creative vegetable-inspired patties.

Are vegan burgers healthy? 

In all honesty, the answer ranges from a ‘sometimes’ to more of a solid ‘no’. 

Plant-based burgers sold in supermarkets are likely to have just as much salt as their meat counterparts, so they’re unlikely to make it onto a list of health-foods. However, plant-rich and unprocessed options might give you a nutritious boost. It really depends on how you cook them — the less oil, the better.
