Add a little island flair to your next barbecue with the sensational flavours of our Polynesian Veggie Burger. Top chickpea-sweet potato patties with fresh grilled pineapple then serve on our delicious Sprouted Whole Grain Burger Buns. (Don’t have fresh pineapple?

They’ll be too busy enjoying the pineappley perfection of a juicy Polynesian Veggie Burger.
