Burger King introduces the new plant-based Big King Vegetal burger in Portugal

Burger King Portugal is expanding its plant-based offerings and unveiled its new Big King Vegetal burger. The new menu is perfect for customers who would like to lessen their intake of meat without sacrificing the flavor.

Burger King Portugal described its Big King Vegetal as 100% vegetable and 100% messy because the burger is quite huge and fully stacked with various ingredients. As per EntronCamento, this new sandwich has been launched following the success of the Whooper Vegetal, Nuggets Vegetal, and Long Vegetal sandwich.

With the arrival of Big King Vegetal, Burger King Portugal is positioning itself as the leading fast-food chain that offers a range of plant-based food. And these are not simply vegan menu items but they were created to have the same characteristics, appearance, and taste as the original versions.

The addition of many plant-based options to the menu also marks a new era for the Burger King brand. This is because the company is now selling food items that are not only for the meat lovers but it has menu alternatives for those who chose to be vegan as well.

Burger King Portugal has been releasing its plant-based food items in partnership with The Vegetarian Butcher and with the new Big King Vegetal, it has once again teamed up with the said UK-based company that creates a new kind of meat. The new burger is the vegetable version of the traditional Big King but it offers the same grilled flavor and texture.

The new Big King Vegetal is entirely made with plant-based ingredients such as the 100% “meatless” beef patties, slices of onions, fresh cucumbers, fresh lettuce, melted cheese, and Burger King signature sauce. It is served enclosed in toasted sesame buns.

Finally, Echo Boomer reported that the Big King Vegetal burger is now available in Burger King Portugal’s restaurant outlets in the country. It was not mentioned if this will be on the menu for a limited time or permanently but since this was added to the plant-based menu options, it is possible that the company is adding it to the stores permanently.
