Applegate Introduces New Line of Organic Blended Burgers and Meatlballs

Targeting "consumers who are mindful of their meat intake and its nutritional, ethical and environmental impact," Applegate introduces their new, "chef-crafted" Well Carved line of organic blended burgers and meatballs.

Applegate's Well Carved line features meat combined with ingredients such as whole vegetables, legumes, and grains. The idea seems to be to offer an alternative to plant-based burgers and meatballs as the blended burgers and meatballs contain less calories, fat, and saturated fat than regular burger patties and meatballs.

At launch, the Well Carved line includes four products:

- Grass-Fed Organic Beef Burger (with 1/3 cup of cauliflower, spinach, lentils and butternut squash)

- Organic Turkey Burger (with 1/4 cup sweet potato, white bean, kale and roasted onion)

- Organic Asian Style Pork Meatball (with 1/4 cup brown rice, green onion, carrot and parsley)

- Organic Mediterranean Style Turkey Meatball (with 1/4 cup lentils, feta cheese and spinach)

The burger patties come in 15-oz packages of four patties for a suggested price of $9.99, while the meatballs come in 10-oz packages with a suggested price of $6.99.

Applegate's Well Carved line is currently rolling out to select retailers.
