Wholly Veggie is a Canadian company (based out of my hometown of Toronto!) founded by two friends who love their veggies and want to make sure every table has access to them! Their mission is to create a more sustainable food system, which I think is very important considering the incredible population growth reaching now 7.8 billion in 2021. How do we continue to feed everyone? This is definitely a challenge but they are up for it!
The company has a great line of veggie products to choose like their taco bites which has a sweet potato crust (yum!), Buffalo Cauliflower wings, veggie pizzas and more!
Trying out the "Southwest Beet Burger" the ingredients and nutritional profile looked great. Beets are loaded with various vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium and Vitamin C.
My Honest Thoughts?
By themselves, these patties are fairly bland tasting and a bit more on the chewy side, as opposed to a softer texture that I was expecting. I'm not sure if "beets" are more of an acquired taste overall, but I don't like to turn down a healthy vegetable. Since 4 patties come per package, day two of trying these out tasted a lot better. I enjoyed them more sliced up, instead of like a regular patty.
Although it does have some spice, it's pretty minimal, so it helps to add your favourite condiments!
They also check off the boxes of being:
✔vegetarian
✔gluten-free
✔soy-free
✔dairy-free.
So if those are labels that are important to you, then this would be a good fit!
Another awesome thing to know is that you can "donate a meal" by making a purchase on their website.
"For every meal you donate, we'll match it with another meal to Community Food Centres Canada.
Your meal donation will go to Harmony Community Food Centre (CFC), one of 13 Community Food Centres supported by CFCC. Harmony CFC is a welcoming place in Toronto where people come together to grow, cook, share and advocate for good food. Their programs support local families and individuals by increasing access to healthy food, skill-building, knowledge sharing, and providing leadership and advocacy opportunities."
I'm excited to try other products from this brand, and I'll be sure to fill you in on whether they'll make my shopping cart again or if they'll stay on the shelf.
