Healthy burgers now are preferred for business by replacing backfat with ground mushrooms to make the hamburger juicy and higher in yield. Beef, pork and chicken are in the amount of 70% or 700 grams per kilo and 30% (30 grams) to replace the backfat.

Mushroom burger is a business which you can start in your kitchen. An initial investment of around P1,000 is enough to start a good business.

One (1) kilo of mushroom burger will give a yield of 1800 grams.

Patties could be prepared in various weights: 30 grams, 40 grams, 50 grams and 100 grams (for steak burger). You can use either fresh or dried mushrooms that are readily available in the supermarkets.
Other organic fibers are also added like bamboo fiber, soy protein and other plant fibers are added to increase the yield and bring down the cost of the product.

Hamburger sandwiches with 30 grams patty could be sold at P12.00; 40 grams patty for P15.00, and 100 grams patty for steak burger at P40.00 with rice and sauces included.
