We use this hydrated burger binder mixture in many of our plant-based meat analog recipes. It acts as a strong gel binding agent that holds the recipe components together. When cooked it also provides a spongy meaty chew that we find improves the recipe overall. It’s incredibly simple to mix together and one batch goes a long way in creating your next plant-based meat analog meal!
