Green spelt burgers are a popular vegetarian or vegan alternative to conventional burgers. The green spelt is first cooked and then processed with other ingredients such as vegetables, spices and herbs into a burger mixture. As a side dish to various dishes, they are ideal.

The green spelt burgers always taste great. It really doesn’t matter what food you eat them with. You can also theoretically prepare them in small pieces and add them to your salad. With one of my delicious soy yogurt dressings and lots of raw, colorful vegetables, they are just a hit.
