Veggie Patch's Nuggets
The Chick'n VeggieNuggets taste like "real" nuggets on the inside, while the other three flavors could pass for hors d'oeuvres at an elegant party.
Swallow five crispy-on-the-outside mouthfuls and you won't think about the 160 calories, 370 milligrams of sodium, and five grams of fat (only one saturated). Nor will you wonder how they manage to supply 30 percent of a day's worth of vitamin A and a healthy dose of lutein, the carotenoid that may protect your eyes from cataracts and macular degeneration.
Instead, you'll wonder (a) how to also get your hands on the company's Chick'n VeggieCutlets or Veggitinos veggie meatballs (also delicious; just not as nutrient-packed) and (b) why no one ever thought of this before.
Vegetables plus soy protein, onions, a little oil, egg whites, and some flavorings, all refrigerated and ready to be baked, sauteed, or microwaved.
