Which mushroom is best for burgers?

The best mushroom for burgers depends on whether you're using it as a patty substitute or as a topping: •    Chestnut Mushrooms – They add a mild, nutty flavour and work well in both patties and toppings. •    Portobello Mushrooms – This is the top choice for a whole mushroom patty due to their large size, meaty texture, and ability to absorb flavours. •    Shiitake Mushrooms – Known for their umami-rich taste, ideal for adding depth as a plant-based burger mix or as a flavourful topping.

Does avocado taste good in a burger?

Yes, avocado tastes great in burgers. Its creamy texture adds richness, balancing out bold flavours like spicy sauces, smokiness, or tangy toppings. Avocado pairs well with beef, chicken, and plant-based burgers, making it a great addition without overpowering other ingredients.

Are mushroom burgers good for you?

Mushroom burgers can be a nutritious choice, offering a lighter alternative to traditional beef burgers.
