About Vegetable patties
Vegetable patties are a versatile dish made from finely grated or mashed vegetables combined with binding agents like breadcrumbs, flour, or egg, then shaped and cooked. They originate from various cuisines such as South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Western traditions, offering a plant-based alternative to meat patties. They are typically rich in dietary fiber, vitamins (like Vitamin C and A), and minerals (such as potassium and magnesium) sourced from the vegetables used. Depending on preparation methods and added ingredients, vegetable patties can be low in unhealthy fats while providing moderate protein and carbohydrate content. They are also a convenient way to incorporate several servings of vegetables into a meal, promoting a balanced nutritional profile.
