There are some days when I get this weird craving for a really good burger. Like a super substantial, stick to your ribs, hearty bad-ass burger. Today was one of those days I guess. Now my main issue that I have with some veggie burgers is that they are all veg and some flour. Nothing really there. For me, I want something with some protein and some good fats and nutrients; my body needs these things. I've been playing around with some different combinations, but I keep coming back to good ol’ hemp seeds. They give the burgers a nice little chew and some heartiness.
