‘Veganuary’ presents a great opportunity for consumers to try a vegan diet. However, this shouldn’t be limited to only the month of January but continued throughout the whole year!
With vegan menus having wider appeal, caterers looking to offer premium quality plant-based offerings on a permanent basis will love the new Vegan Burger Mix from leading manufacturer of foodservice and bakery pre-mixes, Middleton Foods.
Made in the UK using an innovative combination of ingredients, including carrot, pumpkin and beetroot, Middleton Foods has carefully developed its Vegan Burger Mix without soy, wheat or e-numbers. The pre-mixed product creates a truly delicious burger, bursting with flavour, which can easily be made by foodservice operators – just add oil and water. Once mixed, shaped and cooked; the tasty vegan patties offer a traditional burger appearance with an appetising colour, form and satisfying bite.
With dirty burgers so on trend, meat-based creations often dominate menus; but thanks to Middleton Foods, caterers can get involved in the luxury burger scene with a meat-free plant-based offering that really stands out and sets menus apart. The Vegan Burger Mix allows operators to create mouth-watering burgers which can be enjoyed by vegans, and by those who enjoy a flexitarian diet that is free from animal products; as well as by those who just fancy trying something new. Stack high with the usual toppings – albeit animal-free alternatives – for showstopping burgers which still deliver the wow factor. The Mix can also be used to create vegan versions of popular menu choices such as sausage rolls, Greek style koftas and scotch eggs. Simply use the mixture as if it were the meat.
Suitable for use in any catering establishment – from cafés and care homes; pop-ups and pubs; mobile catering and casual dining – the Vegan Burger Mix is available in conveniently sized 2kg tubs, which contain enough Mix for 46 patties. The readymade blend of uniquely balanced ingredients ensures quality and consistency that caterers can rely on, and that can be used by any member of the kitchen team – no matter what their skill set – to prepare perfect meatless burgers time-after-time. What’s more, being low cost at an estimated 50p per burger; there’s a fantastic profit margin to be had.
Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, the Vegan Burger Mix is gluten free, as certified by Coeliac UK. So suitable for people with coeliac disease. By choosing to use products made by Middleton Foods caterers can be assured of their dedication and commitment to food quality, safety and responsibility as they cater for an increasing number of consumers who have specific dietary requirements. Middleton Foods’ main site and bespoke gluten free production facility both achieved the highest possible AA+ certification following recent unannounced BRC Global Standards (BRCGS) and Gluten Free Certification Program (GFCP) Audits for Food Safety.
For many consumers, choosing a plant-based diet is a lifestyle choice; with health, animal welfare and environmental concerns being popular reasons to choose veganism. It’s great to help the planet, especially when it tastes great – and the Vegan Burger Mix from Middleton Foods does exactly this!
