Note: If you review the information at the above website, it becomes clear that some of these values are mixing apples and oranges, so to speak. For example, the serving size for agave is 10 grams while the serving size for honey is 25 grams. There is no explanation for this, yet we do know that agave is one of the lowest GI sweeteners available, and it comes from a natural source. Choose natural sweeteners over synthetic or processed whenever possible.

After reading numerous posts on the net about how amazing your veggie burgers are, I was finally able to give them a try today. I had the Texas Burger and it totally blew my mind, and my taste buds! I've been trying a lot of different brands of veggie burgers lately and this is BY FAR the absolute winner. Thanks again for a fantastic product that I can feel great about eating!
