We are going to compare them based on a serving of one patty for this product battle. Are you guys ready to find out which black bean burger is the best choice? Let's get this battle black bean burger started!
ROUND 1 
​CALORIES
GARDEIN - 140 g
MORNINGSTAR - 130 g

WINNER - TIE

Both burgers are low in calories which makes them an ideal choice. Either option allows you to have seconds with all of your favourite, fresh toppings without worrying your waistline. This one's a tie!
ROUND 2
​FAT
GARDEIN - 0g
MORNINGSTAR - 0.5g

WINNER - TIE


How can you go wrong with either of these low in fat choices? Both options are so low in fat that if you decide to go wild with your toppings choices (ie. cheese, mayo), you'll still be in the safe zone when it comes to your fat intake. This one's a tie!
ROUND 3
​SODIUM
GARDEIN - 410 mg / 18% DV
MORNINGSTAR - 220 mg / 9% DV

WINNER - MORNINGSTAR

Although the serving size is a bit larger on the Gardein patty, there's about a 200mg difference between these two patties. When you consider that we want to stay between 1500 mg - 2300 mg of sodium in a day, the Morningstar farms black bean burger is the safer option. In fact, you could eat 2 of the Morningstar farms patties and only consume an extra 30 mg of sodium. This one goes to Morningstar Farms!
ROUND 4
​DIETARY FIBER
GARDEIN - 5 g / 18% DV
MORNINGSTAR - 6 g / 24% DV

WINNER - MORNINGSTAR


Despite being a smaller patty, Morningstar's black bean burger provides you with more of the good stuff with 24% of your daily requirement of fiber per patty. Fiber is crucial for our digestive health and healthy bowel movements and can also help to keep you feeling fuller for longer. Morningstar definitely takes this round!
ROUND 5
​PROTEIN
GARDEIN - 6 g
MORNINGSTAR - 9 g

WINNER - MORNINGSTAR


With three more grams of muscle building protein per patty, there's no denying that Morningstar farms black bean patty is the winner this round. 
ROUND 6
​VITAMINS & MINERALS

WINNER - MORNINGSTAR

Going solely off the provided information on each of the nutrition labels, Morningstar farms black bean burgers provide you with more vitamins and minerals per serving including vitamins A & C as well as calcium.
