The Bio Burger

One of NSW's prized artisan food companies, Nicholson Fine Foods, created the Bio Burger product using a stone ground blend of dried peas, beans, lentils, vegetables, spices and herbs. It is quick to prepare, is multi-functional, gluten and egg free and is low in fat and salt.


Here are 2 of the suggested recipes for the Bio Burger that we think are just delicious.

40 g Chopped green herbs(mint, parsley, coriander) 
to taste Salt or Soy sauce 

Cooking Directions 
Pour boiling water over bio burger and raisins then mix well until fully absorbed.(if you are throwing a party, do this step prior to guests' arrival, so as to not make them too hungry)
