Grain fucks up their digestive system... cows don't actually digest their foods... the bacteria in their gut does that. Grain changes the gut PH and the bacteria.

They are not made to properly digest grains... a bit of it OK... you still need to fill them up on forage first.

Never heard anything about E-coli though. :?

Strange that they put "grain-fed" on the packaging as if it was a good thing. I thought that cows had a lot of digestive problems when they eat too much grain... bloating, twisted stomach (displaced abomasum), acidosis and the like.

It's been a while so I might be getting this wrong.

I have heard the same thing. Also that grain fed cattle harbour more of the not good E. Coli


All true. Grains mean more carbs, and more sugar in their systems. More sugar means more bacteria feeding on those sugars. Grains also mean more gas.

Cattle are given antibiotics because it controls the bacteria, and has the side effect of them gaining weight. Pasture fed cattle don't have these problems.

I bought some from sobeys, pack of 2 costs 7.99 so probably not going to replace my regular frozen 8-pack of PC or.Compliments brand burgers which IIRC are around 10.99. But if I wanna doing something fancier, or had some vegan guests then I definitely would get some more.

Comparing, the nutritional info and nobody will be surprised to learn that the Beyond Meat is significantly healthier right across the board...especially in sodium, which is usually where “processed” foods fail miserably.

As for flavour , I found them to be quite tasty, they are seasoned to have their own unique flavour not simply trying to imitate the taste of a standard burger patty . But it’s not some exotic or weird vegan flavour either I recall it being something like a hint of bbq or southwestern kind of flavour definitely within the range of what someone might otherwise season a beef meatball or ground beef for a specialty dish.

Buy a burger press, a kg of lean ground organic beef, chop onions, garlic, any other spice you might want, crack in an egg or two, cup of rolled oats and make patties. Wrap in wax paper and freeze. You get what you want.

I don't think I ever tried a frozen burger patty that I really enjoyed and I know my ex and I tried different brands. I have always preferred making my own. The ones we make now we use lean ground beef then add an egg, panko bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic and some Montreal steak spice. I just mix it by hand gently and form my own patties. Top it with swiss cheese and sautéed mushrooms on fresh buns from the bakery, lightly toasted of course. [drool]

The burger press idea is a good one though. I remember that Tupperware had a container set for freezing burger patties in as well.
