   #vegan anybody have a trusted recipe for making red or black bean burger patties? Tried some bought ones and I’m impressed.

     @dch Impossible Burger's not-so-secret ingredient that makes them taste and smell like meat is "heme", the plant's equivalent of hemoglobin.

     Heme can be extracted from beets and other red root vegetables, but I doubt you can buy concentrated heme as an ingredient for home made burgers. Let me know if you find it! 😋
