I am always thinking of new ways to make a burger. Not in that I seek to mimic the burger taste, but rather the heft. In the end, the formula is relatively constant – the burger usually comprises some sort of bean or grain, spices, and a liquid to bind it all together. And this is all with a vegan or vegetarian subtext. This recipe calls for corn, cornmeal, and a slew of tasty complements. Enjoy!
These Corn Fritters are vegan and so cravingly crispy. You won’t be able to get enough of its glow.
Corn: is a rich source of vitamins A, B,and E and numerous minerals. It is loaded with fiber and thus contributes to improved digestion and overall colon health. Corn’s antioxidant content also makes it anti-cancerous. Corn has been linked to preventing Alzheimer’s.
