The outstanding nutritional benefit of this veggie burger recipe is the quantity and quality of fiber and protein the beans provide. You are guaranteed to reach the recommended 25 grams of fiber daily if you add this burger to your meal plan.
Beans, oats, and nuts are high in fiber. What most people do not understand are the benefits of the special fiber found in psyllium.
Psyllium husks are seed coverings that are rich in a gelatinous, water-adsorbing substance called mucilage. It has the ability to absorb 10 to 50 times its weight in water, which contributes to a feeling of fullness. In other words, it’s all but impossible to overeat a meal that contains psyllium, making this a great meal choice for weight loss.
