Organic Tofu and Seitan Burger

100% plant-based, rich in protein, with organic herbs

The quiet strength of vegetables: tofu and seitan embrace in a fragrant embrace of Mediterranean herbs, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The Organic Tofu and Seitan Burger Monastery

The Organic Tofu and Seitan Burger is a completely plant-based artisanal offering, perfect for those seeking a tasty, high-protein, and high-quality option without resorting to meat. Organic yellow soybean tofu and organic soft wheat seitan combine in nearly equal proportions (49,46% and 49,45%), giving the burger a unique texture: the delicate creaminess of the tofu meets the firm, fibrous bite of the seitan, creating a well-defined structure that holds up to cooking without crumbling. The addition of organic tamari, potato flakes, and aromatic herbs such as oregano, marjoram, and basil creates a Mediterranean flavor profile, far removed from the artificial flavors typical of industrial alternatives. Vacuum-packed to preserve freshness and nutrients.
 
 
 

The roots of this Burger are deep in tradition

Tofu and seitan are two age-old pillars of Eastern plant-based cuisine: tofu originated in China over two thousand years ago and spread to Japan and Korea, becoming a staple food, while seitan has Chinese origins in Taoist Buddhist monasteries, where monks, committed to respecting animal life, developed this wheat protein to give structure to their meals. The history of this burger is therefore a fascinating dialogue between ancient Eastern monastic wisdom and Mediterranean cuisine, with Italian aromatic herbs creating a bridge of flavors. Even in European Christian monasteries, during the long periods of fasting and Lent, plant-based proteins were valued as the staple food, a tradition that is more relevant today than ever.
 
 
 

Choosing the Organic Tofu and Seitan Burger means taking care of yourself

With 18,7 grams of plant-based protein per 100 grams, this burger is a nutritionally excellent choice, particularly valuable for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, or simply wanting to reduce their meat intake without sacrificing flavor. The combination of tofu (rich in complete soy protein, isoflavones, and calcium) and seitan (rich in highly digestible gluten proteins) creates a highly beneficial amino acid profile. The fiber content is significant, while saturated fat is minimal and salt is kept to a minimum. Organic herbs add antioxidants and flavor without the use of flavor enhancers or industrial glutamates.
