amys.com Amy’s Organic brand of foods carries a wide range of veggie burgers but the Sonoma burgers are the only kind to be completely free of gluten and TVP (texturized vegetable protein), a type of soy protein that many people find hard to digest. The Sonoma Burger is also 100% vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and organic. With nothing more than veggies, gluten-free oats, and quinoa, plus a bit of canola oil and sea salt, these burgers are definitely one to try out if you want a cleaner option.
