Geared toward everyone from full-on vegans to the emerging market of flexitarians—carnivores that have cut down on meat for health and sustainability reasons—Harmony Valley makes a truly tasty hamburger or sausage replacement a snap. Simply add water to one of the Colorado-based brand’s mixes, refrigerate for 15 minutes, and cook it up for a deliciously veggie-friendly take on burgers, tacos, breakfast burritos and more. The secret is in the seasoning, which comes thanks to Harmony Valley’s parent company Custom Blending, which specializes in quality spices.


Perfect for cookouts, camping and more, the mixes currently sell online for $4 a bag, but will be available at Whole Foods stores around the U.S. by the end of 2010.
