Answers:
Of course they have no meat additives, they're for vegetarians! Lots are soy protein based, some have wheat gluten, most have some veggies mixed in, and have spices!. They're meant to taste and feel like meat, but be guilt free!. Go ahead and try one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

First, there is no meat in veggie burgers!. They use different spices and veggies, grains and beans, but their main ingredient is usually TVP (textured vegetable protein!.) TVP is a byproduct of making soybean oil!. It has a meaty taste to it, but it is nothing but soybeans with their oil removed!.

I like them at cookouts, etc!. They make a quick meal when your in a rush also!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are made with tofu, grains and veggies! I'm not a vegetarian but I like the taste of them, especially the Boca Burgers!. I like to fry mine in olive oil!.!.!.gives them a real nutty taste!. And no, I wouldn't mistake them for a real burger in a blindfold test but they aren't bad tasting at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soy protein, veggies, grains!. Some of them are really good!. Get the Amy's California Burgers!. Yum yum yum!. You can also find recipes to make your own!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu and grains!. They're meant to be vegetarian!. I don't think they're quite like meat - I'd never mistake one for the other blindfolded! But they are firm and pretty decent tasting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

veggie burgers can also be made of mushroomsWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think the "meat" is partly made of soy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
