Qrunch Foods sent us some Quinoa Burgers to review. (My phone messed up and had to get it fixed so I lost the first couple pics, unfortunately) Here's some info from their website:
My business partner and co-founder of the company, Brad Holley, is a
classically trained chef. I’m a former restaurant marketing executive.
Brad’s daughter is gluten-intolerant, and so is my wife.
We knew from their experience that finding tasty, convenient
gluten-free products could be frustrating. And we wondered why food that
was “good for you” tasted so tasteless. It seemed to us that
“gluten-free” had become associated with anything free of good flavors
and “vegan” was simply thought of us as “yuck.”
We knew it didn’t have to be that way.
So, we began tasting and experimenting with organic grains,
produce, spices and other ingredients with the goal of incorporating
them into something we’d want to eat ourselves—more important, offer our
loved ones.
But we didn’t take the usual, soy-worn path.
We looked to some
lesser-used, unique ingredients because they were so delicious and could
meet the requirements of our gluten-free family members and vegetarian
and vegan friends.
The result is the QRUNCH Burger. It has the subtle, nutty taste of
quinoa (hence the Q in QRUNCH), the crunchiness of millet, and the
goodness of organic vegetables.
Frankly, we think we’ve nailed it. And apparently a lot of people
agree. Today, QRUNCH Burgers are sold in nearly 3,000 grocery stores
across the country. We’re growing rapidly, and we’re not done yet. Soon,
we hope to add more items that are gluten-free and delicious.
That’s our mission, to create great-tasting, gluten-free foods.
It’s what motivated us then, it’s what drives us now, and it’s what we
did for love.
Co-Founder and CEO

We loved these! The original flavor was great! The texture is what we enjoyed the most! They were unlike any other "non-meat" burger we've tried. I am not a big fan of spicy things, but I actually enjoyed the spicy italian flavor. It was just enough heat, but not too much! Jared LOVED the Green Chile flavor.
The coolest part about these Qrunch burgers is the cooking process. All you have to do is POP THEM IN THE TOASTER!!!! SUPER EASY!!!!!
You gotta try these for yourself!
