One might wonder if the vegetable sandwich is as healthy as it is touted to be. One of the main reasons why Veggie Garden Sandwich is part of the health food category is that it contains many low amounts of saturated fat. A typical veg sandwich contains around 4 to 7 gm of saturated fat.
Another reason is that it contains minimal oil and has a small size. Because it does not feature red meat, unlike non-vegetarian sandwiches, it is regarded as a healthy option.
But there are other factors in the picture. Is the sandwich or vegetable patty used to fill it been grilled, fried, or steamed? Has it been fried in palm oil? Is it loaded with unhealthy mayo or layered with cholesterol-rich cheese?
