Asda vegan burgers

Burger production could be a new alternative destination for vegetables as supermarkets clamour to capitalise on the vegan trend.

With over 3.5 million Brits now following a plant-based diet, Asda has extended its vegan offer with a new range of products for the summer, including veg-centric burgers and sausages.

Three new burgers include Butternut Squash, Sweet Potatoes & Red Pepper; Edamame, Asparagus & Mint; and Beetroot & Sunflower Seeds. The frozen vegan burgers, which retail for £1.50, are made from natural ingredients and are bright in colour.

Other new introductions include Mushroom & Kale sausages and Sweet Potato falafels.

Andrew Johnston, Asda's vegan expert and innovation chef, said:“We’re committed to catering for the growing number of Asda customers following a vegan diet. The introduction of even more delicious and innovative vegan-friendly foods, ensures everyone can enjoy tasty meal options this summer.

'Our new range of sausages, burgers and dairy-free cheese are packed with flavour and will bring vegan meals to the forefront of the summer season!”
