7036’s inherent tastes inspired this Black Bean Burger

Recipe Intro:
A great veggie burger is a wonderful way to enjoy fitting more vegetables into your diet. However,
they often lack the umami needed to satiate those burger like cravings. Well, not ours! Our 7036
Fermented Black Bean Powder is a wonderful source of natural umami that lends deep, savory,
meaty flavor to this patty.
