A veggie burger, also known as a vegetarian burger, is a type of burger that is solely made from plant-based ingredients, excluding any sort of meat or animal by-products. It is specifically designed to provide an alternative to traditional meat burgers, catering to individuals who follow vegetarian or vegan diets or simply prefer a meatless option.
Typically, a veggie burger consists of a patty made primarily from various plant-based proteins, such as beans, legumes, tofu, grains, seeds, or vegetables. These ingredients are often mixed together with binding agents like breadcrumbs, flaxseeds, or egg substitutes, and flavored with herbs, spices, or even additional vegetables for enhanced taste. The patties are then either grilled, baked, or fried to achieve a desirable texture and taste similar to that of a meat patty.
Veggie burgers are known for their versatility, allowing for endless possibilities in terms of flavors and textures. They can be accompanied by a wide array of toppings and condiments, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cheese substitutes, vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard. Moreover, they can be served on a variety of bread options, including buns, bagels, or even wrapped in lettuce leaves for a low-carb alternative.
In recent years, the popularity of veggie burgers has soared, driven by the increasing demand for plant-based and vegetarian alternatives. They offer a healthy, ethical, and sustainable option for those seeking alternatives to traditional meat-based burgers, while still providing a delicious and satisfying culinary experience.

Etymology of VEGGIEBURGER
The word "veggieburger" is a combination of two words: "veggie" and "burger".
The word "veggie" is a shortened form of "vegetable" and is commonly used as a colloquial term for various vegetarian or vegetable-based foods.
The term "burger" originated from the word "Hamburg", which refers to the city in Germany. In the late 19th century, German immigrants brought a dish called "Hamburg steak" to the United States. It was basically a patty made of ground beef. Eventually, the "Hamburg steak" was placed between two slices of bread, creating what we now know as a hamburger.
As vegetarian and vegan diets gained popularity, vegetarian versions of burgers were introduced. The term "veggieburger" was coined to describe these plant-based alternatives to traditional meat burgers.
